Why Do I Need to Enter my Credit Card?
UpCounsel collects billing information as a way to verify a client's identity and an as assurance to our attorneys that their legal work is being performed for the right person.
The only time we bill up-front is when your attorney has specifically requested an initial payment. Otherwise, no payment is due until the job is completed and your attorney has submitted an invoice to you.
