That fee is only collectible if the paperwork exists

A referral fee this size is routinely lost to a missing signature: no written agreement between the lawyers, or no written client consent, and California courts will not enforce the split. Tap2Refer makes the whole chain automatic — e-signed fee agreement, client consent email on the second signature, audit-ready PDFs.
