DirectLaw Virtual Law Firm Platform- Pricing

DirectLaw™ Features & Price Comparison

The DirectLaw™ Virtual Law Firm Platform is built around our ClientSpace™ application -- the foundation for our secure MyLegalAffairs™ client web space.  It is not a web-based case management or accounting system, which are primarily internal law firm tools.  Instead, DirectLaw™ is client-focused and designed to:

arrow Use the power of the web to reach, interact with and capture new clients;
arrow Enhance the client's experience through the use of collaborative, on-demand tools to communicate with the law firm;
arrow Create additional streams of revenue for the law firm while increasing productivity; and
arrow Deliver online legal services and/or documents direct to the client through the use of our integrated e-Commerce component.

DirectLaw™ offers a choice of three (3) subscription levels.  All subscription levels include our Core Features as listed below, in addition:

-- Level II ($199/month) includes access to one (1) of our Document Libraries. Choose from Business Law;  Estate Law; Family Law; or Consumer Law.  Level III includes access to all four (4) of our Document Libraries.

-- Levels II and Level III ($299/month) include a free license to use Rapidocs Solo, our document authoring system, and DirectLaw™ WorkSpace.  Use Rapidocs to create your own, custom documents and sell them via the platform.  Use WorkSpace as an affordable, in-office document automation solution.
