When you and a lawyer agree on a case fee, it's split into stages and locked in escrow upfront. Nothing reaches your lawyer's account until you or the platform confirms that stage actually happened.

Final release on resolution
Milestones and amounts are agreed between you and your lawyer before a case begins, and can be renegotiated by mutual consent if the scope of the case changes.
Everything else a legal case actually needs
Escrow is the headline. The rest of the platform is built to earn the trust it depends on.
Document vault
FIRs, affidavits, contracts and evidence stay encrypted with AES-256, version-tracked, and visible only to you and your assigned lawyer.
Verified advocates only
Every lawyer's Bar Council ID and enrollment certificate is checked before their profile goes live — no self-declared credentials.
A timeline you can follow
Hearing dates, filings and lawyer updates land on one case timeline, so you're never chasing someone for a status update.
