Your consultations, document review and document drafting are all done by an attorney.

Our online client portal, MyCase, is our preferred way to communicate.  We use MyCase so that the universe of your business is in one place, and you can easily access your information.  MyCase uses state-of-the-art law firm security, all sensitive information is encrypted before it’s written to disk.

Yes, of course.  As a small business owner, you want to mitigate risk.  You want to decrease the chances of litigation or another party not performing under a contract.  Our subscription service allows you to mitigate the risk of costly litigation, non-performance, etc. Although costs vary based on the type of case, estimates for the median cost of litigation range from $43,000 to $122,000 per case.  Furthermore, as a small business owner you want predictability of your costs.  UpTrend provides you with a set rate, so you know your likely legal costs for the year.

Depending on the service, we can provide additional legal services at our normal rate of $450 per hour.

We offer our services to California businesses.

It depends on the project – document review will take less time than drafting a document.  However, as soon as you notify us of your drafting need, we will send you an intake form via MyCase for you to fill out some key elements, facts, numbers, etc., that apply to your project.  Once you submit your intake form your attorney will draft your document. 

No.  We want your project to be as you want it.  We understand most contracts, etc., require multiple drafts.  Only the final draft counts towards your subscription.

No.  Again, we understand that contracts and the like go through various iterations until complete.  Multiple reviews or drafts of one project will not count against your monthly limit.

Yes, we will ask your permission to bill beyond your monthly allotment before we start billing you.

No, you will need independent counsel for litigation matters. Our focus is keeping your small business out of litigation.

Our policy is to schedule all attorney appointments so that the attorney can dedicate 100% of their attention to your issue.
