How court coverage works

  1. 1. Post the hearing — county, courthouse, date, hearing type, and instructions (under 60 seconds).
  2. 2. We notify qualified counsel — attorneys who cover that county and practice area, not a public board.
  3. 3. First qualified accept wins — your card is charged only then. No match by the deadline? No charge.
