How it works

Representation, rebuilt around you

Licensed attorneys, full representation when you want it — structured so the failures of traditional firms can't happen.

01

Start with a free consultation

Talk to a licensed attorney by video for 15 minutes, free, before you spend a dollar. Ask anything. See if you're comfortable. Then decide — with the full price in front of you.

02

Pricing that fits your case

Four ways to hire: full representation at a flat fee, reduced hourly billing capped at $175/hour, stage-by-stage pricing approved before each stage begins, or document preparation with self-representation guidance. Whatever you choose, the price is in writing before work begins.

03

A guide through every step

Never hired a lawyer before? You'll always see, in plain English: where your case stands, what happens next, what it will cost, and what's needed from you. No jargon, no mystery, no calling the office to find out what's going on with your own divorce — and a clear written strategy for where your case is headed, kept current in your case file.

04

Nothing happens behind closed doors

You're in the room for every conference the court allows, and you're copied on everything sent to the court and the other side. This commitment is part of the written agreement you sign with your attorney.

05

You own your case file

Every document, deadline, and strategy note lives in a file you control — not in a drawer at a law office. If you ever switch attorneys, your new one is up to speed in an hour, not a $3,000 re-onboarding.

06

Never stand alone in court

Full representation is the default. Handling parts yourself to save money? Add a flat-fee Courtroom Day Pass (an attorney appears with you) or a Mock Hearing — a one-hour rehearsal with an attorney playing your judge.

Ways to hire

Four ways to work with your attorney

Not every case — or every budget — needs the same arrangement. Attorneys on the platform offer four service types. Every one comes with a written price before work begins; you and your attorney choose what fits.

Option 1

Full representation — flat fee

One all-inclusive price for your entire case, agreed in writing up front. The attorney handles everything, start to decree. Best when you want it fully taken off your shoulders and a total you know from day one.

Option 2

Hourly — capped at $175/hour

Prefer a traditional hourly arrangement? Attorneys who bill hourly on this platform charge no more than $175 per hour — compared to the $450–$950 typical firms bill — with honest time records you can actually review. A fraction of the market rate, same licensed representation.

Option 3

Stage by stage

Your case, divided into its natural stages — each one priced in writing and approved by you before it begins. Pay for one stage at a time, pause between stages when you need to, and re-decide at every step. The structure that protects tight budgets best.

Option 4

Document preparation & self-representation guidance

The lowest-cost path: your attorney prepares your filings and financial disclosures, explains every step, and coaches you to represent yourself with a professional behind you. You stand in court; you never stand unprepared. (Availability follows your state's limited-scope rules.)

The stages

The six stages of a divorce case

01FilingComplaint & response
02DiscoveryFinancial disclosure
03MotionsSupport & custody orders
04SettlementNegotiation & agreement
05Trial prepIf settlement fails
06TrialClear per-day pricing

Most divorces settle by stage 4 — which means most of our clients never pay for stages 5 and 6. With open-ended retainers, you find out your total when it's over. Here, you know each stage's price before it starts. (Shown for New Jersey; the sequence is similar in most states.)

And when your case needs someone physically in the courtroom, someone is there — guaranteed. Your attorney travels for the days that matter, or a locally based courtroom attorney from our network stands with you for a clear, pre-agreed fee. You'll never face a courtroom alone.
