Frequently asked
The questions
partners ask first
Whether the outreach is legal, how a signed case ties back to a signal, what the founding pilot costs, which areas it covers, and what happens when a family already has a lawyer.
Is this kind of outreach legal?
Yes. The letter goes out on your firm's letterhead, under your signature, and you approve every batch before it sends. That approval is your responsible-attorney review under Rule 5.3. We never recommend or vet your firm to the family, and we never imply we analyzed their case.
How do I know a signed case came from DocketDrop?
Every lead carries deterministic tracking, so the proof sits in your own system, not a monthly self-report. A unique call-tracking number and a unique link tie each inbound contact back to the exact signal, and a Clio match reads the signed matter straight from your intake. You see the chain end to end.
What does DocketDrop cost?
Philadelphia runs as a founding pilot, so the first firm sets the terms with us directly. The pilot carries a money-back guarantee: if no signed case is attributable through our tracking, you owe nothing. Founding firms lock a rate for twelve months. Reach out and we will walk you through the numbers.
Which areas does DocketDrop cover?
Philadelphia County, exclusively, for the founding pilot. One firm owns the territory while we prove the loop together, so you are not bidding against three other partners for the same family. The model extends to other metros after the pilot, but right now the focus is one city and one founding firm.
What happens if a family already has a lawyer?
We suppress them before the letter ever drafts. A lawyer-of-record check runs against each signal, and any family that already shows representation is killed from the batch, so your letter never reaches someone who has signed elsewhere. That keeps you clear of Rule 4.2 and keeps your name off the wrong envelope.
How fresh are the signals?
We can surface a catastrophic-injury signal within the hour of it hitting the wire, so your letter reaches the family before the corner-billboard firms have heard the name. Speed is the wedge. The family that gets a specific, respectful letter first, from a real attorney, is the family that calls back.
