Letters
that move
the other side.
The cases most firms can't take economically are the cases plaintiffs need most. We bring you matters where liability is real, the work fits your wheelhouse, and the economics line up at flat-fee Stand pricing. You decide what to take. We handle intake, drafting, and triage so you spend your time on the work that needs your judgment.
Why this exists at all
Your work happens
at scale.
We handle the parts of practice you'd delegate if you could — intake, fact-pattern triage, jurisdic- tional research, first-draft Letters in your voice with citations against your firm's template. You do the work that needs your judgment: read, edit, sign, send.
Twenty minutes per Letter, ten Letters a week, on matters you'd be proud to take. That's the shape — your craft applied where it matters most, without the operational drag.
Two kinds of attorneys on The Stand
Signs Letters
You review the draft, edit, and sign. The Letter goes out on your firm letterhead with your bar number. This is most attorneys.
Review only
You review for legal accuracy, but The Stand routes signing to a signature-offering attorney in jurisdiction. Your card shows a review-only badge. Most clients pick the signing attorneys, so this is the smaller share of the market.
You set this in /studio/representation.
What you actually do
Review and sign
signed instruments.
No intake calls. No phone tag. No pro-bono burnout. We hand you a drafted Letter, the case file, and the jurisdictional research. You review, edit, and sign. We send it on your firm letterhead.
Average review-to-sign time is under 20 minutes. You see ten Letters in the time you'd normally have one intake call.
Review the draft
We hand you a Letter drafted to the exact statutes and the case file. You read, edit if you want, sign.
Pick the cases that fit
Set the practice areas you'll take. Decline what doesn't fit. The Arena surfaces matters in your wheelhouse.
Take retainer or contingency
When a case escalates, configure your retainer floor or contingency terms. Or refer it for a 15% commission.
We handle the back office
Intake, billing, certified mail, jurisdiction research, client communication, malpractice insurance. You sign.
The portfolio

How you get paid
85% per
Letter.
Every Stand the client buys, you keep 85% of the fee. We take 15% to run the platform — drafting, intake, jurisdictional research, billing, certified mail, client communication, malpractice infrastructure.
Cases that escalate beyond a Letter become contingency referrals to your firm — or to a partner firm if you pass. Either way, your name is on the original Letter and you're first call when it grows.
Every Letter
85%Of every Stand fee the client pays, 85% goes to you. Direct deposit weekly. No invoicing.
Wrongful Termination Stand at $999 → you keep $849 per Letter
Escalations on retainer
100%If a matter escalates and you take it on retainer, the client engages your firm directly. We don't take a cut.
Standard firm retainer terms — billed and held by your office
Escalations on contingency
your termsSet your contingency cut (typically 33–40%). The client agrees to it before engagement. We don't touch the fee.
$80K settlement at 33% → $26.4K to you, $0 to The Stand
Referral commissions
15%Refer a matter you can't take to a colleague. If they take it and recover, you get 15% of their fee. The Stand takes 10%.
Receive $5K on a colleague's $40K contingency win
Why this is worth your time
Real money.
Real impact. 2–3 hours a week.
This isn't a side hustle. It's plaintiff-side practice without the intake calls, the unpaid consults, or the cases that drag on past their retainer. We bring the matters; you bring the judgment and the signature. The math is competitive with traditional billable work and you spend the hours on actual lawyering.
And every Letter you send is a person who'd otherwise have given up. That's the part the market hasn't priced — the meaning that comes from being the lawyer ordinary people can actually reach.
The math, plainly
- 10/wkLetters reviewed and signed at ~20 minutes each = ~3 hours of focused work
- $700Average Stand fee across the portfolio
- 85%Goes to you. We take 15% to run the platform.
- ~$6KPer week, per attorney. Without intake calls, retainer chasing, or delinquent invoices.
Indicative math at portfolio averages. Your practice areas, jurisdiction, and review pace affect actual.
Who we're hiring
Plaintiff lawyers
who've had it with
turning people away.
You took the bar to fight for people. The economics of solo and small-firm practice keep forcing you to decline cases that deserve a fight. The Stand is the back office that makes those cases pencil out.
- Plaintiff-side practice — employment, civil rights, landlord-tenant, family, consumer protection
- Solo or small-firm — under 10 attorneys
- Comfortable with a fast review cycle (target: 20 minutes per Letter)
- Bar admission in good standing in at least one of: Florida (live now), Texas, Georgia, California, New York
- Tired of turning people away because the case doesn't pencil out at $400/hour
“Most of the people who've called me over forty years couldn't pay a retainer. I had to send them away. Now I don't.”
