Built for urgent-intent searches
When you need to find an appearance attorney fast — a lawyer to attend a court hearing this morning, or local counsel for an emergency ex parte — speed and a competitive offer matter more than anything else.
- Set a short acceptance deadline so available counsel move first
- Use Recommended or Better offer tiers for <24 hour hearings
- Upload papers immediately — attorneys accept faster with context
- Name the exact courthouse and department when you know them
- Enable auto-boost if you want the offer raised while you wait
What “same day” usually means
Best odds
- Routine CMCs and status conferences
- Ex partes posted before 8 a.m.
- Major county courthouses (LA, OC, SF, San Diego, Sacramento)
- Remote depositions
Harder same-day fills
- Argued summary judgment with heavy papers
- Rural or distant branch courts
- Long in-person depositions starting within hours
- Federal appearances needing admission checks
Short lead time increases pricing multipliers. You still only pay if an attorney accepts before your deadline — no match, no charge.
