Why?
We provide both parties with a 15-minute complimentary call prior to retention to ensure it is a mutual fit before moving forward. This call typically includes discussing your background and qualifications, litigation experience, details of the case, questions, and next steps. These calls are meant to be a business development tool for you, and it is important that we equip our experts and attorneys with these tools to establish a fluid and successful process. By participating in these complimentary calls, experts and attorneys are offered the following benefits:
Experts:
- In-depth understanding of the case
- Opportunity to ask questions and connect with the lead attorney
- Demonstrate your knowledge and expertise
- Expand your network and build relationships
- Gain experience with the legal process
Attorneys:
- Receive useful feedback
- Opportunity to ask questions
- Identify demeanor that can be valuable in court
- Expand your network and build relationships
How?
Schedule Through an EI Representative
A member of Expert Institute will reach out to inform you that an attorney is interested in retaining your services and has requested to set up a conference call. You will be provided with a brief case overview and asked to confirm that you are interested in working on the case. From there, we will coordinate with you and the attorney to confirm a time that works best. Once the call is scheduled, you will receive a confirmation email from Expert Institute with the call information.
Schedule Through The Expert iQ Portal
Input your availability in the Expert iQ Portal. Attorneys will be notified when you input your availability and select a time that works best. You will receive a confirmation email with the date and time of the scheduled call.
Alternatively, you may view the attorney’s availability and select a time that works best for you.
If none of the current availabilities are suitable for you, simply click Request More Availability. This will notify the attorney to input additional call times, and you will be notified when availability has been updated.
Click the desired call time and confirm to formally schedule the conference call. Once you have selected a call time, you’ll see the call on both your Dashboard as well as the Engagement Detail. We’ll also send a calendar invite shortly thereafter.
