Special Appearance is a free iPhone application designed to simplify the process of finding coverage for court appearances and getting paid for assisting other attorneys. Created by Criminal Defense Attorneys with over 50 years of experience, the app aims to assist busy attorneys in managing multiple cases across different courtrooms.

With Special Appearance, attorneys can post coverage requests in specific counties, where other app users can view and offer to cover for them. Upon completion of the appearance, the appearing attorney updates the requester with the details and receives payment. The requesting attorney is charged $60, while the appearing attorney receives $50. This innovative solution eliminates the need for costly attorney appearance agencies and allows for instant coverage, enabling attorneys to expand their reach beyond their usual areas.

Appearing attorneys using Special Appearance are typically local, experienced counsel who may already have cases in the desired courtroom, fostering a network of support among colleagues. By participating in covering cases, attorneys not only earn extra income but also contribute to a collaborative legal community. Payment processes are handled seamlessly through the app, removing the need for manual follow-ups.
