Q: I hear other Docketly attorneys talking about points. What is it and how does that work?
A: We decided that attorneys would be rewarded based on their performance with us. We wanted better performing attorneys to get more hearings. A simple solution to a complex problem. As an attorney completes hearings for us, we give them reward points. Aside from the obvious money-in-your-pocket gain in covering more hearings, the more hearings you cover the more reward points you build up. "But what's the point of the points?" you may ask. Good question! As you gain points, you gain levels within the network, which translates into (as briefly mentioned before) preferential treatment like advanced notice of hearings created, and of course, bragging rights among your peers.

Q: I accepted additional hearings and my cost per hearing has decreased. Why is that?
A: When you are covering hearings at at the same time at the same court, your one trip to the court will result in an overall higher fee even if the per hearing fee is lower. Most attorneys in our network value the bundles and gobble them up because they understand the value of doing approximately the same amount of work for quite a bit more money. The “Bundled Hearings Pricing” article goes over this in more detail.
