Trump Administration Pushes through Massive Immigration Fee Increase

The next wave of Trump administration policy designed to reduce immigration is here. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will impose major increases in the immigration fee structure effective October 2, 2020. The USCIS immigration fee increase would nearly double the cost of some applications. However, there are some minor reductions for other types of applications.

The Trump administration is simultaneously squeezing immigrants with a new public charge rule and changes to the fee waiver rules that make it more difficult for low-income immigrants and their families. To add insult to injury, some of the new fees will go to pay for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The new immigration fee schedule increases the costs for several family-based petitions and applications and would even add new types of fees. The proposal was initially published in the Federal Register on Thursday, November 14, 2019. That rule has now been finalized and will go into effect on October 2, 2020.

Fee Increase Affect on Adjustment Applicants

At a glance, the fee for Form I-485 will go down by $10, but this can be deceiving. Currently, USCIS waives certain fees for adjustment of status applicants. In most cases, the fee for Form I-765 (employment authorization document) and I-131 (advance parole travel document) are waived with a pending I-485 application. The agency’s immigration fee increase returns to a model of charging separate fees for Forms I-485, I-765, and I-131. Unfortunately, this is drastically increasing the cost for nonimmigrant visitors to adjust status to permanent resident. Instead of paying $1,760 in fees for the typical family-based adjustment case, the combined fees are hiked to $2,860 (if an EAD and advance parole document are needed). This will also affect many U.S. citizens. A large percentage of adjustment cases are for the foreign national spouses of U.S. citizens.

What’s more, USCIS has removed the reduced fee for children filing with parents. In the previous fee schedule, children receive a reduced fee if filing Form I-485 with a parent. USCIS is removing the $390 savings. Child applicants must now pay the same fees as adults.

RECOMMENDED: Green Card through Adjustment of Status

Naturalization Fee Hike

Applicants for U.S. citizenship are some of the hardest hit by the USCIS immigration fee increases. The new fee for Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, is $1,170. That’s 83% more than the current $640 fee. Additionally, fee waivers could be taken away in the future.

The $530 increase will make it increasingly difficult for permanent residents to become citizens through the naturalization process. The move could reverse the efforts made in previous years to make the process more accessible. In the 1990s, the naturalization filing fee was under $100.

DACA Fee Increase Averted

The administration’s initial rule had proposed a new $275 fee for requests to renew DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). However, the final rule did not include this fee. Thus, the fee the renewal DACA will continue to be a combined $495. The combined fee includes a $410 filing fee for Form I-765 plus $85 biometrics services fee.

If your DACA status expires within the next six months, you are already encouraged to renew as soon as possible.

New USCIS Filing Fees for Common Forms

The immigration fee increase affects most forms. In some cases, there is actually a small improvement in the fee. We’ve listed some of the most commonly used USCIS forms:

FormCurrent FeeNew Fee$ Change% ChangeI-90$455$415($40)(9%)I-129F$535$510($25)(5%)I-130$535$560$255%I-131$575$590$153%I-131A$575$1,010$43576%I-4851$1,140$1,130($10)(1%)I-751$595$760$16528%I-7652$410$550$14034%N-400$640$1,170$53083%N-565$555$545($10)(2%)N-600$1,170$1,000($170)(15%)1 Final rule also removes reduced fee for children under 14. Additionally, there is a $1,080 fee for certain asylum applicants. 2 Increase in filing fee does not apply to EAD requests based on a grant of DACA.

This is not a comprehensive forms or fee changes. For the complete all forms, please refer to the final rule in the Federal Register.

USCIS Fees Will Not Pay for ICE

USCIS officials have said that the immigration fee increase would help pay for an “overextended system.” Generally, the purpose of fee increases is to fund the operations of USCIS operations. However, the proposed rule gave the agency room to use the fee hike for other activities.

The USCIS immigration fee proposal was written to allocate more than $207 million in filing fees to ICE operations, including ICE immigration benefit fraud investigations and enforcement. This is counter to how USCIS has previously operated. The immigration agency charges fees to pay for the services provided to petitioners and applicants. Fortunately, the final rule declined to use funds collected by USCIS for enforcement operations.

Other Obstacles for Immigrants

Over the last year, the Trump administration introduced other measures to limit legal immigration. All appear designed to make it more difficult for lower income immigrants to qualify for benefits.

In January, USCIS finalized changes to a new public charge rule. The modification requires intending immigrants to submit a new, onerous form that dives into the financial background of green card applicants. Combined with stricter guidelines, it would make it more difficult for low-income applicants to qualify. Multiple court injunctions temporarily halted this policy. However, the administration may be able to implement it in the future.

RECOMMENDED: Public Charge Rule, Explained

Additionally, the agency removed one of the principal methods to qualify for a USCIS fee waiver. Fee waivers enable certain immigrants obtain benefits for a reduced fee or no fee at all. Many applicants have used means-tested benefits as a qualifying factor. USCIS took away this criterion, meaning that applicants may generally qualify only after submitting substantial amounts of tax return information or other documents to prove income level. Consequently, this measure puts a larger burden of work hours on USCIS to screen applicants. The increased costs get passed on to everyone else.

Online Filing

USCIS is offering a small incentive to those who use the efile system for certain forms. Individuals who file online will receive $10 off the filing fee.

USCIS Immigration Fee Increase Goes Into Effect October 2, 2020

Applicants still have time to seek immigration benefits prior to the new immigration fee increase.

The final rule was published July 31, 2020. USCIS is providing a grace period of up to 60 days in which they will accept both the previous and the new versions of certain forms as long as payment of the new, correct fees accompanies the forms. Applicants and petitioners must use the new or revised form by October 2, 2020.

The fee changes arrive as USCIS is facing a significant budget shortfall and possible furloughs for employees. Unlike most federal agencies, USCIS receives most of its funding from fee collection. The agency closed offices and paused most in-person services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As entrepreneurs, we often think about protecting our assets by taking out insurance, getting bonded or creating a Tax ID number, but one thing that many business owners forget to do is to protect their intellectual property.

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) describes intellectual property (IP) as “creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.” IP can be a concern if you have developed or are in the process of developing a product, service, process or concept that you wish to take to market, and if you want to protect your business’ name and identity.

Trademarks, patents and copyrights protect different types of IP. A trademark typically protects logos and brand names used on goods and services; a patent protects an invention; and a copyright protects an original literary or artistic work. For example, if you invent a new type of air conditioner, you would need to apply for a patent to protect the invention itself. Then, you would need to register a trademark to protect the brand name of the air conditioner. Finally, you might want to register a copyright for the jingle you used in a TV commercial marketing the air conditioner.

So whether you’ve invented something, developed a software code, written a book or even crafted a jingle, you need to legally protect your work.

What is a Trademark?

As defined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), “A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol and/or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.” A service mark affords the same protection rights to services, rather than goods. The word “trademark” is typically used in reference to both trademarks and service marks. Trademarks can be used for brand names, slogans and logos, among other things.

In simple words, a trademark helps people differentiate between the goods or services of one company from those of other companies. Trademarks date back to ancient times, when artisans used to put their mark or signature on their products.

In general, marks fall into one of four categories: fanciful or arbitrary, suggestive, descriptive or generic. The category your mark falls into significantly impacts both its registrability and your ability to enforce your rights in the mark. The strongest and most easily protectable types of marks are fanciful marks and arbitrary marks, because they are inherently distinctive and essentially have no dictionary meaning.

Registered Trademark: While registering a trademark is not mandatory, a federally-registered trademark has several advantages, including a legal presumption of ownership nationwide, the exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods or services set forth in the registration and a notice to the public of the registrant’s claim of ownership of the mark. The USPTO has only 45 trademark classes for goods and services. This means that similar items are usually combined into a class.

There are three commonly used trademark symbols: “TM,” “SM” and “®.” The federal registration symbol “®” can only be used once federal registration is granted, and it can only be used in connection with goods and services listed in the federal registry. It has many legal benefits as opposed to the “TM” or “SM” symbols, which have very little legal significance. However, you can use the “TM” and “SM” symbols to indicate that you have adopted these as “common law” trademarks or service marks.

It is a good practice to use the correct symbol on your trademarked words, phrases, symbols and/or designs. If registered, use the ® symbol (either as a subscript or superscript) after the mark. But if unregistered, use TM for goods or SM for services, to indicate that you have acquired this as a trademark or service mark, respectively, regardless of whether you have filed an application with the USPTO.

How to Register a Trademark:

This is an overview of the steps of how to apply for federal registration of your trademark with the USPTO:

Select the mark you wish to trademark. Remember that not every mark is registrable with the USPTO, nor is every mark legally protectable.

Prepare and file your trademark application online through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).

After the USPTO decides that you have met the minimum filing requirements, an application serial number is assigned to your case. Your application is then forwarded to an examining attorney, who reviews your application to determine whether it complies with all applicable rules and statutes, and includes all required fees. Work with the examining attorney and promptly respond to any queries they may have.

If the examining attorney raises no objections to your registration, your mark will be approved for publication in the Official Gazette of the USPTO. You will also receive a notice of publication stating the date of publication. Any party who believes it may be damaged by registration of the mark has 30 days from the publication date to file either an opposition to registration or a request to extend the time to oppose.

If you receive a notice of allowance, you need to file a statement of use (SOU) within six months, along with evidence showing that you’ve used the mark. You also need to pay a filing fee with the SOU.

Once the examining attorney approves the SOU, your mark will be registered and a certificate of registration will be issued.

To keep the registration active, you need to file specific maintenance documents. Failure to do so may result in cancellation and/or expiration of the registration, and you will have to start the entire process all over.

The whole process may take a number of months. Monitor the progress of your application through the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system. Check the status of your application at least every three months to ensure you don’t miss a filing deadline.

How Long it Lasts: The USPTO defines that “rights in a federally-registered trademark can last indefinitely if you continue to use the mark and file all necessary maintenance documents with the required fee(s) at the appropriate times.” The documents required for maintaining a trademark registration are:

Declaration of Continued Use or Excusable Nonuse under Section 8

Combined Declaration of Continued Use and Application for Renewal under Sections 8 and 9

What is a Patent?

A patent is a limited duration property right relating to an invention, granted by the USPTO in exchange for public disclosure of the invention or discovery. Patentable materials include machines, manufactured articles, industrial processes and chemical compositions.

These are the three types of patents:

Utility patents, which may be granted to anyone who discovers or invents any new and functional machine, process, article of manufacture or compositions of matters, or any new useful improvement thereof. Most applications filed at the USPTO are for utility patents.

Design patents, which may be issued to anyone who invents a new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture.

Plant patents, which may be granted to anyone who discovers or invents, and asexually reproduces any new and distinct variety of plant.

The statute states that as long as a patent is valid, it grants the holder of the patent “the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale or selling” the invention or discovery in the US or “importing” the invention into the US.

How to Obtain a Patent: It is advisable to hire an experienced patent attorney when filing for a patent, in order to avoid mistakes that could cost you later on. But in general, here are the steps.

Search the USPTO to ensure that your work hasn’t already been patented.

Determine the type of patent you need — utility, design or plant.

File a provisional patent application. This will protect you in case someone claims that they had the idea before you did. The US patent law works on the basis of the First to File system, and not First to Invent.

Sign up to become a Registered eFiler. The easiest way to do this is online, but you can also file your patent application by mail or by fax.

Collect and submit all relevant information for your formal application. This includes an abstract, background, summary, a detailed description and your conclusion, including the ramifications and scope. You also need to define the legal scope of your patent.

Complete and review your formal application. The average time for a patent application to process is one to three years. Make sure you get it as close to right as possible the first time.

A patent examiner will be assigned to your case. They will communicate with you for any requests, concerns or information. Respond as promptly as possible.

If the examiner finds your application satisfactory, you will receive a notice of allowance. This notice lists the issue fee and the publication fee that you need to pay before the patent is issued.

Pay the maintenance fee, which is needed to maintain the patent in force beyond f. Non-payment of the maintenance fee or any applicable surcharge can lead to the expiration of the patent.

How Long it is Valid: According to the USPTO, utility and plant patents expire 20 years from the date on which the application was filed in the US or, in special cases, from the date an earlier related application was filed.

Design patents expire 15 years after the date they are granted for applications filed on or after May 13, 2015, or 14 years from the date of issuance if filed before May 13, 2015. Under certain circumstances, patent term extensions or adjustments can be made.

What is a Copyright?

According to The US Copyright Office of the Library of Congress, “Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the US Constitution and granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression.” This means that any creative work can be copyrighted if it can be saved in some permanent (tangible) way, so that it can be communicated to someone else at another time.

Original works of authorship include literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software and architecture. Copyright covers both published and unpublished works. It, however, does not protect facts, ideas, systems or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are conveyed.

A copyright comes into existence as soon as a product/service is created, whether it is registered with the US Copyright Office or not. However, registering it with the federal government grants federal protection to your IP. The symbol for copyright is “©.”

Copyright protections extend to many other countries other than the US. The federal government maintains copyright agreements with several other nations, which state that the governments will respect the IP of each others’ citizens.

How to Register Your Copyright: To register a copyright, submit the following to the US Copyright Office:

A completed application form

Filing fee

Copies of the work you are registering

Once your work is certified by the Registrar of Copyrights and sealed with the seal of the Copyright Office, it is admissible as prima facie evidence in all courts without further proof or production of the original, as per Chapter X of The Copyright Act of 1957.

How Long it Applies: The Copyright Act of 1976 states that copyright protections expire after the author’s lifetime plus 70. 95 or 120 years, depending on the nature of authorship.

Whether you need a trademark, a patent or a copyright depends on the type of IP you’re trying to protect. So whether it’s a new product, logo or creative work, registering your idea with the appropriate body can help ensure you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Previously, these notices were sent by post but currently, they are mailed and also uploaded on the e-filing portal.

If any taxpayers who have applied for ITR filing and do not receive the intimation notice, it means, your tax return acknowledgment will serve as the department’s acceptance of your return.

Step 2: Log in to your account. The user ID is your PAN number.

Step 3: In the 'My Account' tab select, the service request option

ADR Notable

Founded: 5/20/2015.

Headquarters: Columbus, Ohio.

Elevator pitch: ADR Notable is the first SaaS platform to provide mediators with a single, complete tech solution. Case management tools are combined with “in the room” features that include prep checklists; time tracking; notes captured by party and type that can be edited, combined, sorted, and searched; document access; saved forms/clauses to draft final terms; and digital signature, all with an intuitive UI that won’t distract the mediator. Variable note deletion and secure storage complete the process.

How we’re unique: ADR Notable is a technology platform for mediators, an underserved part of the legal market. Its core replaces the legal pad with a novel note-taking feature the mediator uses to capture the note content, party and note type, then manage them logically by topic and edit notes into final terms of agreement. This feature resides within a secure cloud-based case-management system for the mediator’s entire practice, with an intuitive UI for ease of use that avoids distraction during sessions.

Demo video (if any): https://vimeo.com/369975500.

Founded: 10/31/2017.

Headquarters: HQ: New York, N.Y.; Development office: Kyiv, Ukraine.

Elevator pitch: AXDRAFT helps enterprises draft and approve legal documents 10 times faster, avoid mistakes and safely delegate more to non-legal teams.

How we’re unique: AXDRAFT has four main competitive advantages:

AXDRAFT integrates data from public registers and internal databases directly into the document.

Demo video (if any): https://youtu.be/7z3JwWtKtD0.

Billseye

Founded: 1/12/2018.

Headquarters: HQ: Atlanta, Ga.; Operations Center: Columbia, S.C.; Development Team: Indore, India.

Elevator pitch: Say for instance you’re working out, running an errand, or picking up your daughter from daycare and you receive a call from an important client. Do you stop what you are doing to document the call? I bet you’re too busy to stop and you end up losing hours of billable time as a result. This dilemma can be solved with one touch. Download Billseye for automatic, real-time call tracking, documenting, and billing solutions that can integrate into your existing case management software.

How we’re unique: Our patent-pending client button allows the user to immediately identify incoming and outgoing billable calls. At the end of the call, our software prompts the user to document the call with a text or voice memo. With Billseye, you are one touch away from billing thousands more dollars on mobile calls.

Demo video (if any): http://onetouchbilling.com/media/BillseyePromo2.mp4.

Pricing: A tiered SaaS model.

Outside funding: No outside funding.

CaptureCast Legal

Corvum

Founded: 6/1/2017.

Headquarters: Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Elevator pitch: Corvum is the first cloud-based communications service designed specifically for lawyers.

Corvum provides the extremely responsive customer support needed for law firms to continue to operate smoothly. Corvum’s service stays online with our three geographically redundant data centers. Corvum’s integration with Clio automatically tracks lawyers’ billable time on calls.

How we’re unique: Telephone providers typically offer “everything to everyone” services, without being able to focus on the needs of any specific user. Corvum is different because of our focus on the needs of lawyers. Legal professionals require more timely and helpful support, they require rock-solid uptime, and they require the tools they need to run their legal practice to all work together.

Demo video (if any): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzatElTvT6U.

Pricing: Monthly fee per user (SaaS/UCaaS).

Outside funding: Debt financing with the Business Development Bank of Canada (https://www.bdc.ca).

Crosselerator

Founded: 1/1/2019.

Headquarters: Exeter, U.K.

Elevator pitch: Turn your everyday email into new income, every day. Crosselerator adds targeted messages to your outgoing emails intelligently and collects the data.

How we’re unique: We are run by a successful ex-partner with 40 years’ professional experience and a long track record of success, not by young techies, so our products are designed with precise needs of practitioners in mind.

Demo video (if any): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGgqR3r1rN4.

Pricing: Approx $25 per month minimum, then by seat at $3 per seat per month.

Discovery Genie

Founded: 6/1/2017.

Headquarters: Denver, Colo.

Elevator pitch: Discovery Genie solves the document production problem facing 750,000+ lawyers and paralegals litigating cases involving 35,000 pages or less: reviewing, producing, organizing and indexing emails, attachments and efiles. The Genie’s lawyer-designed system automates conversion to PDF, Bates numbering, privilege-log generation, and more, saving 75-90% of the time, cost and tedium of using Acrobat — but without the overkill costs and complexity of an e-discovery system. No IT department needed.

How we’re unique: We make document production inexpensive, fast and simple for the 90% of lawyers and paralegals who litigate small- to mid-sized cases (35,000 pages of production or less). Manual document production is slow, soul-crushing, and wasteful of professional talent – but e-discovery platforms, designed for big law, are cost prohibitive and unworkable for the vast majority of lawsuits. Discovery Genie serves the huge overlooked legal market with powerful but simple and affordable document production tools.

Demo video (if any): https://vimeo.com/294695282.

Pricing: On-demand, per document pricing. Custom pricing is available for large jobs, such as one case that involved 380,000 pages of production. (We have partnered with the DC Bar and the Colorado Bar Association to provide discounted services as a member benefit.)

Outside funding: No outside funding.

DueCourse

Founded: 8/11/2019.

Headquarters: San Francisco, Calif.

Elevator pitch: DueCourse is a learning platform that empowers attorneys to take control of their career by helping them map and advance their professional development through personalized learning. We’re building an adaptive learning platform that designs personalized development paths, allows lawyers and professional development teams to track their progress, and pushes incremental, custom content that encourages consistent learning and professional growth.

How we’re unique: Our adaptive learning platform replaces the outdated, impersonal training and development models that rarely fit the busy schedules of distracted learners, and do not meet lawyers in the online mediums where they’re spending most of their time.

Our model also uses real-time data and various accountability methods to provide on-demand learning and help lawyers stay on track with their professional development, rather than leave it up to ad-hoc mentoring and goal setting.

Demo video (if any): None.

Pricing: We have a subscription-based pricing model.

Outside funding: Less than $1M in outside funding.

ECFX

Founded: 1/28/2019.

Headquarters: Los Angeles, Calif.

Elevator pitch: ECFX is a one-stop, enterprise-class solution for electronic court filing (ECF). ECF is a time-consuming and complex process that varies from court to court. ECFX solves this problem by providing a SaaS B2B platform that automates the processing of receipts of service and the filing of documents with the court with firmware administration and control. ECFX obtains huge efficiencies and cost savings for the firm, eliminates the risk of missed receipts, and reduces filing rejections.

How we’re unique: ECFX distinguishes itself over competing solutions by offering a firmwide, enterprise class solution for all of a law firm’s jurisdictions. Firms today must cobble together products from multiple vendors, and that patchwork of products may still be incomplete. ECFX focuses on automating work that falls into the gaps between the other products in the market and provides a consistent user experience across multiple jurisdictions.

Demo video (if any): https://docsend.com/view/ru3gbs6.

Pricing: We charge per transaction for each receipt or filing, with price per transaction depending usage volumes. To obtain discounts, firms can pre-pay for usage bundles on a monthly or annual basis.

Clients can communicate efficiently, and those messages are stored securely in real-time to be used in court, if needed. Important files such as tax documents, pictures, and final decrees can be shared. Lawyers can also assign tasks to be completed, and clients can upload expense items to be reimbursed by their ex-spouse/co-parent.

How we’re unique: We looked at what was missing in the family law market and what the pain points were for both the lawyers and the clients. We developed a simple, easy-to-use, mobile-friendly, web-based application that allows these lawyers, often in small practices, simple case management tools while also tying in co-parenting tools that clients need from the outset of the case. No other tool is tracking these text message communications and that is how most people are communicating in their personal lives.

Demo video (if any): https://www.linkedin.com/company/familydocket/?viewAsMember=true.

Pricing: Yearly subscription-based fee paid either by the law firm or passed on to the client.

Outside funding: Less than $1M in outside funding. We raised money from private investors as well as friends and family.

Our motto is to become the one-stop shop for all law firm reporting needs by bringing together practice management system data with accounting, marketing, and other data sets to create dynamic metrics to really move the dial within the business.

Demo video (if any): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz_5kpUZ2PY.

Pricing: Since we are running analytics on all employees tracking time in the practice management system, we base price on total number of employees: 1-3 =$49/month; 4-9 = $129/month; 10-19 = $299/month; 20+ needs to be reviewed as they will tend to have very specific customization requests.

Outside funding: No outside funding.

Hugo Analytics

Founded: 3/3/2017.

Headquarters: Denver, Colo.

Elevator pitch: Hugo enables litigators to test any variety of case theories and strategies using virtual jurors. Litigators can submit material over our JuryMeter website to conduct initial pilot studies and see how 25 mock jurors react to their case. Hugo also provides more customized services that allow litigators to conduct experiments to optimize their case strategies and estimate more precisely the likely outcome of a given case.

How we’re unique: Traditionally, litigators make live presentations to a small number of mock jurors (6-30). Using crowdsourcing, we can recruit more mock jurors at a fraction of the cost. We run pilot studies and obtain initial reactions to cases on our website, www.jurymeter.com. As the numbers of mock jurors increase (think hundreds), we also conduct experiments and use statistical analyses to gain a more scientifically valid estimate of likely outcomes, including both liability and damages.

Demo video (if any): None.

Pricing: For our www.jurymeter.com solution, $500 with volume discounts. For customized experiments, prices as quoted (approximately eight customized experiments for about $50,000).

Outside funding: No outside funding.

Josef

Founded: 7/1/2019.

Headquarters: Melbourne, Australia.

Elevator pitch: Josef is a legal automation platform that enables lawyers and legal teams to create and launch their own conversational bots. Lawyers have already built more than 5,000 automation tools on the platform to streamline processes, improve client experience and eliminate repetitive tasks. Bots built on Josef automate lawyer-client interactions, draft documents and provide legal guidance and advice.

How we’re unique: Using legal automation platforms usually requires a level of training and expertise that is beyond most lawyers. In law firms and in-house teams, these technologies end up being used exclusively by technical experts. Josef turns that model on its head by driving adoption of its visual logic builder and no-code-document-automation among practitioners across legal organizations. We see adoption and bot-building by everyone from paralegals to partners, assistants to legal operations.

Demo video (if any): None.

Pricing: Customers pay for a subscription to Josef. Subscription levels may vary based on the number of bots launched or distribution of access to the platform.

Outside funding: Less than $1M in outside funding.

We enable customers and attorneys to focus on outcomes.

How we’re unique: We are the only company offering payment plans for civil cases in the market today.

Proxy is a cloud-based legal workflow management tool that supports the more effective adoption of legal operations concepts. Proxy optimizes four key day-to-day legal functions: (1) organizing and managing legal tasks; (2) delegation and status tracking; (3) visual prioritization; and (4) effective reporting and search.

How we’re unique: Three factors make us unique:

Our products are targeted at in-house counsel, not law firms or consumers.

We have not deployed over-hyped buzzword technologies. Instead, Proxy provides an intuitive UX to meaningfully implement legal ops concepts. We do not purport to do a lawyer’s job for her. We enable her to do it better herself.

Text A Lawyer

Founded: 4/27/2017.

Headquarters: Beaverton, Ore.

Elevator pitch: We provide captive client leads for lawyers that have at least $21 of skin in the game. These leads convert at a high rate. Lawyers actually get paid to field these leads in real time. For the person who has a legal question, they are able to get legal advice from a local, verified attorney for $21 without having to wait. We’ve gone to great lengths to remain compliant with ethical rules, using our credit card processor to handle the funds, avoiding retainer issues and fee-sharing.

How we’re unique: We’re the world’s fastest way to hire a lawyer, period. We also go to great lengths to appeal to the ethically-conscious lawyer, like deleting encrypted client conversations off our server on a daily basis, providing a full transcript via email, and giving lawyers various options to reject a client mid-chat (scope, ethics, wrong state/category).

We launched Aug. 31, 2019 for landlord/tenant issues in Oregon. We will soon be opening in new cities and with new categories, including personal injury, family, business, and immigration.

Demo video (if any): www.textalawyernow.com.

Pricing: We have three:

The first question costs $21, with $10 to the lawyer as an earned fixed fee, $5 as a once-per connection attorney verification fee, $5 as a per-question software license fee, and about $1 for the credit card processor we use.

The lawyer and client chat until the lawyer gathers enough info to answer the question. They toggle to “”Final Answer”” mode. Upon receiving a final answer, the client has three minutes to read and decide whether to ask a follow-up question for $11. Follow-up questions for $11 can continue “a la carte” indefinitely. The lawyer earns $5 on each follow up, with the $5 per-question software license fee remaining the same.

We charge lawyers a $100 per month access fee on a renewable contract subscription. Lawyers earn $10 on the initial question and $5 on each follow-up. Answering a small handful of questions each month zeros out our fee, allowing lawyers to net a small nest egg answering questions and interviewing new clients.

Lawyers only give out their contact info in a final answer, and only if they want that client to re-hire them off platform. This is our real value – and it’s free for lawyers, an incredible deal!

Outside funding: Less than $1M in outside funding.
