In-House Attorneys

Should you use an In-House attorney or Appearance Counsel for the upcoming hearing? It depends on your needs. Docketly's nationwide network of compliance-ready Appearance Counsel makes it easy to cover hearings that would otherwise require your In-House attorneys to travel. Appearance Counsel can also often be more cost-effective even in local courts because of how it allows simple cases to be managed at a low cost while your In-House attorneys focus time and energy on more lucrative, complex hearings. However, our software supports your In-House attorneys, too.

In-House attorneys receive special treatment: they have access to our calendaring system, they stay easily connected to the firm's big picture and communication system, and they don't receive "Report Overdue" notifications. Using our software to meet your In-House attorney needs will not only serve your attorney well but will make it easier for your scheduling staff when your in-house attorney can no longer appear at a particular hearing. For $1.00 a hearing, you can upload your in-house attorney hearings to Docketly's website and we will automatically assign your attorney to this hearing.

The advantage of using Docketly for your in-house hearings: iPad/iPhone/Android reporting and first notification of other hearings available for coverage at the same date, time and location.

Now your attorney can do instant reports from anywhere using his or her mobile device just by having the hearing uploaded to our system and then using our mobile App to report. This could potentially have a significant impact on your firm's Mean Time To Report (MTTR) hearing results to your collection software and your clients.

Since your attorney was automatically assigned that court, date and time, when another one of our clients posts an available hearing that coincides with your in-house attorneys hearing, he or she will get the first notification that another hearing is available at that time. Your in-house attorney, like all of our network attorneys, has the option to decline coverage, but for the price of $1.00 for our technology, you could easily make $50.00 - $300.00 for other hearings your attorney covers.

The advantage of using Docketly for your scheduling department: One-stop shopping with our agile technology.

With our constantly evolving, yet user-friendly technology, we will make constant improvements to help meet your staffs' needs as issues arise. Thus cutting down on the confusion and double-duty that working with two systems causes.

When your in-house attorney suddenly has a conflict, simply press the "Delete In-House Appearance" button found on the Hearing Overview Page, and then Docketly's network of attorneys are notified that a hearing is now available. This will drastically cut down the length of time to get coverage for a hearing as well as the leg work to cover it.

End Result: Docketly saves you time and money...and now we can make you money!
