Marshals intake and medical screening
Magistrates and detention hearings

When this path helps - and when it buys nothing.

CAN HELP

When counsel is calendared

When specialty docs travel with the team

BUY NOTHING / HURTS

When you land unrepresented

When you chat case facts

When family posts online

RESEARCH NOTE
