Bonolegals is a new breed of legal support. They are professionals with a degree in law and active lawyers. A bonolegal cannot be someone holding a paralegal certificate, regardless of years in law practice. Bonolegals do not attend a courtroom or undersign court papers on behalf of their clients. Instead, they draft all required documentation and send it to the clients, giving comprehensive instructions on how to file it. Bonolegals train and prepare the clients for their participation in hearings. This allows our clients to save money, avoiding skyrocketing attorney's fees. A bonolegal should not have been licensed in a State where the case is pending. This secures both the bonolegal and the client from any unethical pressures potentially imposed by other stakeholders. While attorneys do not expose to their clients everything they do in working on the case, bonolegals disclose legal theories, fundamentals and explain sensitive practical aspects. This enables our clients to keep the case workflow accountable and gives them a countenance to making truly informed choices.

The appointment form is supposed for scheduling the free consultation. In your message shortly explain what the matter is, tell about a communication channel which is most secure or convenient for you. And note about certain date and time if you are scheduling the consultation in advance.

Bonolegals usually return to our clients shortly after the message is sent through the appointment form. Give a call or send an email if your inquiry is remaining unanswered. The free consultation may last up to 30 minutes. Paying the assessment fee takes about 3 min. Depending on your choice of either regular or speedy assessment fee, a bonolegal will assess the matter and return to you with the service agreement in 30-60 min or by the end of the day. Therefore, a bonolegal may start working on your case in minutes after your inquiry and submission of the supporting documents.

You may communicate information with a bonolegal using the following channels:
1) online form at https://bono.legal/appointment;
2) electronic mail at contact@bono.legal or an email at bono.legal domain, as shown in your service agreement;
3) phone calls over our toll-free line 877-850-0505; and
4) secure text/audio/video chat, using your personal computer or laptop and entering your individual Meeting ID provided by a bonolegal, at https://bono.legal/meet. The following most recent and updated web browsers are supported: Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.

First, you need to explain the legal matter. Speak about the facts, not emotions. For example, "on that day she agreed for this", "on the other day he did this", "now I cannot do this", "I want to file an immigration petition", "I want to answer to a traffic charge", etc.
Second, ask what supporting documents you may send to a bonolegal for the initial assessment. What channel is to be used for communicating information and for submitting the documents, or where to mail the hard copies.
Third, ask about our fees framework and how the service agreement might work. Tell about your preference regarding a proportionate or fixed contingency pricing model.

Bonolegals review the matter based on the client's story delivered during the free consultation and on materials submitted for the initial assessment. This will result in an outline of possible legal strategies and options of the proportionate and (or) fixed contingency pricing. The bonolegal will swiftly return to you with the offer and explanation of the mandatory and potential fees and costs in your case.

Due to decent service fees, bonolegals apply the contingency pricing model where there is a reasonably good chance that the court will adjudge an award or settlement to the client. For the proportionate contingency pricing model, the contingency fee depends on the case strength and potential award: the higher the award the lesser the fee percentage will be offered. For example, if there is a reasonably good chance that the client will receive a $1M settlement, bonolegals will likely offer the minimal contingency fee of 10%. In the matters where a proportionate contingency pricing cannot be applied, bonolegal will offer a fixed contingency pricing model: we will charge a pre-negotiated fixed amount if our client prevails in the court. Unless the case is not ruled in your favor, bonolegal will charge nothing extra besides the standard bonolegal's fees.

By choosing a bonolegal you avoid attorney's fees associated with signing and mailing your documents by the attorney and with his or her presence in a court. In addition, our pricing models are based on contingency and decent amounts of standard service fees. Having the lower fees, you stay included in the on-going course of your legal matter and can control the situation by limiting the delegation of your business to the others.
