I recently had an extremely complicated case which required extensive analysis, research and brief preparation to support a nonimmigrant visa waiver application. The Lawclerk who assisted me was a former U.S. consular officer who did a brilliant job and provided me with insights that only someone with consular experience could provide.

To build a team:

- Your Team Description is up next. We recommend adding as much informantion as possible. The more detailed and precise you are in who you are looking for, the more attractive your post will look to potential applicants. Identify: (i) the type of experience you are looking for – be specific (number of years of practice, trial experience, etc.); (ii) the type of work you anticipate giving to the Lawclerks on your team; (iii) any useful or interesting information about your work or firm; and (iv) if you know, the frequency with which you anticipate assigning work.

- Simply click on “accept” to add an applicant to your team.
For your protection, LAWCLERK uses a third-party provider, Braintree Payments (a PayPal service), to handle all payment processing. No credit card or bank account information is stored by LAWCLERK.
When you register, you will be prompted to provide a credit card, which is how you will pay for any work you assign through LAWCLERK. Please note that your credit card is only charged the flat fee you have set when you select a Lawclerk to complete your project. There is no charge to post a project.
Once a Lawclerk is assigned to your project and your credit card is charged, Braintree Payments (operated by PayPal), will hold the flat fee project price in escrow until your project is successfully completed. Once you have approved the final work from the Lawclerk, payment is tendered by Braintree Payments to the Lawclerk
