They have an online payment method and I would like to use that as my payment option if possible. Thanks

While that is probably adequate, you could take a minute or two to contact the law firm in writing (email will do) and request instructions on how to make payment. It's likely they'll advise you to proceed as you outlined in your post, but this way, you'll be certain. Good luck

He paid for my school and agreed verbally to sponsor me to get my plumbing license. Seven years later he’s refusing to fill out the apprenticeship certification for me. Is it possible to sue for lost wages for what I would have been making as a licensed master plumber?

There is an insufficient factual basis to answer your question. Without knowing the reasons why he will not fill out the apprenticeship certification it is impossible to answer your question.
