The arrangement
What exactly does Lancer do?
Lancer pays for and runs the marketing that brings in injured clients, staffs the intake desk that signs them under your retainer, and provides the case staff who collect records, draft the demand, and support the negotiation. You’re the client’s attorney and you make every legal decision.
Is this a referral service? Do you sell leads?
No. Lancer doesn’t sell leads and doesn’t pay or collect referral fees. The client signs your retainer directly, and Lancer is paid a share of the attorney’s fee only when the case resolves.
Who is the client’s attorney?
You are. The retainer is yours, the file is yours, and the professional responsibility is yours. Lancer’s staff work under your supervision.
Who decides how a case is handled?
You do. Lancer prepares and recommends; you approve. That covers accepting a case, the demand, every offer, and whether to file.
What kinds of cases?
Motor-vehicle injury cases in Arizona, handled pre-suit. Cases that need to be filed stay with you, with Lancer’s support continuing under the litigation terms of the agreement.
How many cases will I get?
As many as you can give proper attention. Capacity is set with you at the start and adjusted as you go. We’re not interested in sending volume you can’t handle.
Money
What does it cost?
Nothing upfront, no subscription, no per-case price. Lancer is paid a share of the attorney’s fee when a case resolves. The split is set in the engagement agreement you’ll see before signing.
Does the client pay more?
No. The client pays the same contingency fee they would pay any firm. Lancer’s share comes out of the attorney’s fee, not on top of it.
What if a case doesn’t resolve?
Lancer isn’t paid. The marketing, intake, and staff cost of that case is Lancer’s.
How does the money move?
Settlement funds go to your trust account, as always. You disburse the client’s share and costs, then the fee is divided under the agreement.
Ethics and rules
Is fee sharing with Lancer permitted in Arizona?
Arizona allows it through the Alternative Business Structure (ABS) program the Arizona Supreme Court created in 2021, which licenses law firms with non-lawyer owners. Lancer is seeking ABS licensure. You’ll see where the application stands, and the engagement agreement, before anything is signed.
Does working with Lancer affect my professional independence?
No. Arizona’s ABS rules require that lawyers in a licensed entity keep their independent professional judgment, and Lancer’s process is built around it: Lancer prepares, you decide.
Do Lancer’s staff practice law?
No. Intake and case staff work under your supervision, the way paralegals and case managers do in any firm. Legal advice, strategy, and every decision on a case come from you.
Working with Lancer
What software will I use?
Lancer’s case portal, for the cases Lancer sends. It shows each file, what’s waiting on you, and what Lancer’s staff are doing. Your existing practice and tools stay as they are.
