Cover the hearing you cannot attend
A clash, a trip, or illness should not cost you the matter. Post the hearing and a local attorney takes it from there.
For law firms and solo attorneys
Need coverage for a hearing?
Put it in good hands.
Tell us the hearing, the court, and the date. We help you find a local attorney who knows that courtroom. You both agree the instructions in writing, and you get a full report once the hearing is over.

Why law firms choose us
The right attorney, when and where you need one.
Know exactly what they can say
You write the points that matter and the lines they should not cross. Both of you see the same version, in writing.
Get the outcome in writing
The order, the dates the judge set, and who handles the next step. You are not chasing anyone for the result.
A relationship you can repeat
Save the attorneys whose work you liked and call on them again. Familiarity with your instructions is worth more than a new face every time.
Fees you can see in advance
What the covering attorney earns and what the platform charges are both shown before anyone commits to anything.
Get your time back.
Rearranging a week around one hearing costs you in both directions. With a local attorney already working in that courthouse, a date that clashed becomes a date you can keep.
Coverage you can rely on
We match the court and the area of law, not just whoever is free that morning.
Time back in your week
Get the coverage you need for your court appearances, so you can spend your time where it matters most: your clients and your business.
Your attorney and a simple workflow. Less chasing.
Most coverage work goes wrong between people, not in court. The hearing goes sideways because a date was never confirmed, or an instruction was never written down. This keeps both attorneys in one place with the same record.
Simplify scheduling
Every request carries its own hearing details and status, so nothing depends on a memory or a phone call.
Get support
One place to send a question, flag a problem, or ask for a different attorney.
Pick someone who fits the hearingChoose your attorney.
Choose your attorney.
Then agree the details.
Look at each attorney’s practice areas and the courts they appear in, then save the ones you like for next time. If it is urgent, the first available attorney can accept.

before you say yes.
You see what your attorney is paid and what the platform charges, side by side, before you commit to anything.
How long the job takes affects the price.
Getting ready for the hearing, travel, and waiting in court all add up. Before you can book anything live, we will agree in writing on how much time is included, what extra time costs, what happens if you cancel, and when you get paid.
Prices shown are examples only. No money is reserved or charged on this site.

What attorneys say
“I could see the scope, the court, and the fee before I said yes, and the instructions told me exactly how far I could go.”
“Our docket is spread across three departments. Getting a local attorney onto a calendar without rebuilding the brief from scratch is the part that saves us time.”
“After the hearing I got the order, the new dates, and a named owner for the next step. I did not have to chase anyone for that.”
Straight answers.
Can I book a real appearance today?
Not yet. This is a private preview. It shows exactly how the service is meant to work and lets us collect interest, but live matching, bar checks, accounts, and payments are not switched on.
Can I choose the attorney, or work with them again?
Yes. In the sample you can compare three fictional profiles, mark the ones you like, and start another request with that choice still in place. We will show real availability and history once there is a live network behind it.
What if I need to change the instructions?
Edit the instructions and both sign-offs are cleared. Save the new version and you and your attorney simply sign off again. The final version is the one that goes on the matter record.
What if the attorney is late, or the report is missing something?
The sample walkthrough shows what happens when an attorney has a problem getting there and when a report needs more work. Real backup coverage and a response-time promise are still being worked out for the pilot.
How are the final fees decided?
The example shows what the covering attorney earns, plus a separate $35 platform charge on your side. Final pricing, what the job includes, overtime, cancellation, and payment terms will be settled in a written agreement before anything goes live.
