What you will need

  • A smartphone with a web browser
  • Your portal email address and password
  • Location turned on for your phone’s browser, so your GPS location can be recorded
  • Your phone’s camera, if you are adding photos

  4. Add photos if you have them. Tap Camera to add up to 5 photos, and add any comments.
  5. Tap Add Status.
Stay at the location:Your GPS location is recorded automatically when you add the update. Add it while you are still at the location, so the GPS coordinates are accurate.

4 Check the confirmation

Status update saved

A summary of your update appears with Saved! Tap Done.

Your update goes into the Direct Legal Support portal right away. The client sees it under Pending Orders and Closed Orders, and we see it in the status updates in our operations portal.

A copy of the status update, including your GPS location and photos, is also emailed to the client.

5 Update other orders at the same address

Apply the status to other orders at the same address

To save time, you can apply the same status update, including the GPS location and photos, to other orders at the same address.

After you submit an update, any other orders at that address are listed. Turn on Select all, or turn on only the orders you want, then tap Add Status.
