Step 4: Virtual Legal services

As a virtual firm, we provide most of our services online, including:

• Secure electronic document handling
• Phone and video meetings
• A client portal for tracking updates on your case

Step 5: Orientation call

After signing on, your case manager will:

• Introduce themselves as your main contact
• Explain their role in coordinating your case
• Gather more background information from you

Step 6: Kick-off call with your lawyer

Here, you’ll meet your lawyer, who will:

• Outline the strategy for your case.
• Begin gathering key documents.
• Explain the next steps to move forward.

Step 7: Strategy in action

Our team collaborates to:

• Collect any needed documents
• Submit appeals or legal letters
• File lawsuits, if necessary

Step 8: Mediation or settlement

Most cases settle during mediation, where we’ll negotiate for a fair resolution. This is a common step for long-term disability claims.

Step 9: Trial or hearing (if needed)

If your case goes to trial, we’ll stand by you every step of the way to ensure your voice is heard.

Step 10: Receive payment or a claim approval

Once your case is resolved, disability benefit payments usually begin within 90 days. For employment cases, you’ll receive a settlement at this point. If additional steps are needed, we’ll be here to guide you every step of the way.
