HOW DOES IT WORK?

The VirtualCourthouse.com^TM process is simple and straightforward.

• A case is initiated and a list of Neutrals is selected and the Neutrals are ranked.
• A system generated email is sent to the other party, inviting them to join the case.
• The other party joins the case and a Neutral is agreed upon.
• The Neutral reviews the case initiation, and sends an email to both parties, confirming the type of proceeding and the fees.
• The claimant prepares a case presentation and uploads the scanned documents into the online case.
• Once complete, a system generated email is sent to the respondent, advising them the claimant has completed their presentation, and now it is time for them to submit their case presentation.
• Once the case presentations are complete, a system generated email is sent to the Neutral advising them to review the evidence and render a decision.
• Once reviewed, a verdict is submitted online, and a system generated email is sent to both parties notifying them a verdict has been rendered.

That’s all there is to it!

Most cases are resolved in less than 30 days. As the parties become familiar with the processes, the time is often under 7 days, sometimes a matter of hours. A neutral decision is filed usually in under 24 hours after the case presentation is complete.

Invoices are generated and sent via email every Friday.  Upon receipt of the total fee due, VirtualCourthouse will disseminate appropriate fees directly to the Neutral.
