Submit the Online Intake Form

Go to the intake form and tell us your name, phone, email, county, what charge you missed, and whether there's a warrant out. That's all we need to get started. Our system creates your case file in our practice management system automatically — no manual data entry on our end.

You'll see a confirmation on screen immediately. Daniel's office is notified within seconds.

We Run the Conflict Check

Daniel reviews your information and confirms there are no conflicts of interest that would prevent him from representing you. If everything checks out — and it almost always does — we build your invoice and notify our office to prepare your documents.

You're waiting here. Most clients hear from us within a few hours. If we can't help for any reason, we'll tell you promptly.

5 minutes — You

Sign Your Engagement Documents

We send you a DocuSign email with two short documents: an Engagement Agreement (confirms Daniel is your attorney and sets the flat fee) and a Waiver of Appearance (allows Daniel to appear in court on your behalf, so you don't have to show up). Both can be signed on your phone.

No printing. No faxing. No office visit. Just click, review, and sign.

Automatic — Then You

Invoice Arrives — Pay the Flat Fee

The moment your documents are signed, our system automatically activates your matter and Daniel's office sends your invoice. Pay securely online by credit or debit card through Clio Payments — the same platform used by thousands of law firms nationwide.

Flat $350. No hourly billing. No hidden costs. No surprises. The invoice arrives in your inbox within minutes of signing.

Complete the Good Cause Questionnaire

The moment your payment clears, you automatically receive a personalized link to a short questionnaire. We ask you to explain — in your own words — why you missed your court date. This is your "good cause" statement. It doesn't need to be formal or legal-sounding. Honest and specific is what matters.

Common good cause reasons: medical emergency, family crisis, car trouble, confusion about the date, work conflict. Whatever actually happened — tell us that.

We Look Up Your Case in eCourts

Daniel's office logs into the North Carolina eCourts system and locates your case. We confirm your case number, court name, and the exact date of the missed appearance — everything needed to make the motion legally precise. All of it gets recorded in your case file.

We may reach out to confirm a detail if something in the eCourts record doesn't match what you told us. Please respond quickly if we do — it's the last thing we need before we can file.

Daniel Prepares the Motion and Brief

Daniel reviews your complete case file and generates two court documents: a Motion to Reset Court Date and a Brief in Support. Your good cause statement, case details, and all personal information are woven into both documents automatically from your case file. Daniel reviews every document personally before filing.

Nothing goes to the court without Daniel's eyes on it first.

Daniel Signs and Files with the Court

Daniel signs the motion and files both documents electronically through the NC eCourts filing system. You do not need to appear. We'll notify you when the filing is confirmed by the court.

You are waiting here. Most clients have nothing to do from Step 6 onward until they hear about their new court date.

09

Court's timeline — Us + Court

Court Rules on Your Motion

The court reviews Daniel's motion and supporting brief and rules. If good cause is found — the outcome in most properly prepared cases — the court issues an order and a new hearing date is set. If denied, Daniel reviews the ruling and advises you on available next steps. Either way, we monitor the docket and contact you the moment the court acts.

Timing varies by county — typically a few days to two weeks after filing. No attorney can guarantee a court's ruling. What Daniel can guarantee is a thorough, well-prepared motion on your behalf.

10

Show up — You

Appear at Your New Court Date

You appear at your new court date. The failure-to-appear is cleared from the court's active record. Your matter is closed. You handled it — and that took courage.

If anything comes up between the filing and your hearing — a new scheduling conflict, a question about what to expect — call Daniel's office. We're here through the finish line.
