Frequently asked questions
Still wondering how Instant Per Diem fits into your practice? These are the questions we hear from litigators and firm administrators most often.
How far in advance should I request per diem coverage?
We recommend submitting your request as soon as you receive the court date. That said, we routinely handle next‑day and even same‑day coverage when the calendar and court allow. The more lead time you provide, the better we can match the right attorney and anticipate any court‑specific nuances.
Who are the per diem attorneys you work with?
Our per diem network consists of licensed attorneys with appearance and litigation experience in the courts they cover. We screen for professionalism, and reliability. For ongoing relationships, we can prioritize the same per diem attorneys for your matters when scheduling allows.
Can you handle complex motions or evidentiary hearings?
Yes, in many cases — but we evaluate these matters individually to ensure the right fit. For routine calendar calls, conferences, and simple motions, our coverage is typically automatic. For evidentiary hearings, complex oral argument, or high‑stakes matters, the assigned attorney will review the file before confirming coverage.
How do you report back after an appearance?
You receive a clear written summary covering what happened on the record, any new deadlines or orders, and recommended next steps. If the court directs any immediate action, we flag it in the report so your team can respond quickly.
Do you offer volume or firm‑wide pricing?
Yes. For firms that regularly need coverage across multiple parts, counties, or practice areas, we build a custom plan that reflects your expected volume and complexity. This often includes priority matching, a dedicated coordinator, and consolidated monthly invoicing.
Never scramble for per diem coverage again.
Protect your calendar, your clients, and your reputation in every courtroom you appear in.
