ERTC Advance for Law Firms
Your law firm filed for Employee Retention Tax Credit months ago. The refund could be $40,000-$150,000+ based on staff retention through COVID. The IRS says 6-12 months. An ERTC advance lets you access most of that refund now for case expenses.

Understanding ERTC for Law Firms
The Employee Retention Tax Credit provided significant refunds to law firms that maintained staff through COVID. IRS processing backlogs create long waits.
Law Firm Eligibility
Law firms qualified through revenue decline during COVID periods when courts closed, clients delayed matters, or economic conditions affected legal work.
Staff Retention Credits
Each retained employee generated ERTC. A law firm with 5-15 staff could generate $40,000-$150,000+ in credits depending on wages.
Processing Reality
IRS ERTC processing currently takes 6-12+ months due to filing volume and scrutiny.
Case Investment Opportunity
ERTC advance can fund expert witnesses and case expenses rather than waiting for IRS.
The ERTC Waiting Problem
Law firm ERTC refunds are stuck in IRS processing.
IRS Processing Delays
Filed your ERTC claim months ago. Still waiting. IRS says 6-12 months.
Case Investment Waiting
That ERTC refund could fund expert witnesses. Instead it sits in IRS queue.
Working Capital Locked
Refund could fund operations and case expenses. Instead you manage tight cash.
Opportunity Cost
Money in IRS processing is money not working in your practice.
Uncertain Timeline
No way to predict exactly when refund arrives.
Case Timing Mismatch
Cases need investment now. ERTC could fund it if IRS would process.
