What Do We Offer

CoverCrow is a real-time on-demand cloud-based software that uses the latest technology to connect Freelancers who are independent contractors with consumer agencies and attorneys. CoverCrow only connects individual Freelancers with consumer agencies and attorneys to fulfill a specific task for each other. CoverCrow facilitates the connection for one job at a time.

Each Freelancer is still and always responsible for his/her appearance and services. Each consumer agency and attorney is still and always responsible for finding coverage for his/her appearances, hearings, or other event that he/she is looking to find coverage for.

Each Freelancer is liable and responsible for the appearance he/she has accepted through the CoverCrow web or mobile app. In essence, CoverCrow is the equivalent of a matching service which connects agencies who wish to hire Freelancers for limited scope work (a single appearance) on an independent contractor basis.


How it Works

All users need to register and submit their application for review. Review and approval of new applications usually lasts 24 hours, but is in no way guaranteed.

Create a job request. The consumer agency or attorney is responsible for submitting a job request for an appearance where all information is true and accurate. The Freelancer will rely on the information provided to make the necessary appearance.

If the information entered changes later on or is not accurate as determined by facts or the Freelancer during the appearance, that constitutes a breach. The consumer agency or attorney is liable for all and any subsequent outcomes and may be subject to additional fees if the scope of the resulting work goes beyond the minimum described herein or on the job order form.

Submitting a job request does not suggest and/or guarantee that a Freelancer is found or matched with your request. Your job request has no appearance coverage until (a) you receive a notification through our system that someone has accepted your appearance request AND (b) you have physically called, emailed, and/or texted and confirmed the appearance with the legal service provider who has accepted your request.


Accepting a Job Request

Accepting an appearance is a 2-clicks verification process. After accepting to appear, the Freelancer becomes responsible for making the appearance and fulfilling his/her duties to the fullest.


Cancelling an Appearance

Consumer agencies and attorneys can cancel an appearance request that is not yet accepted at any time.

Appearances that have been accepted by a Freelancer can be cancelled no later than 24 hours before the appearance date and time.

Appearances can be cancelled within the 24 hours of the appearance time by contacting the Freelancer who may impose a late cancellation fee on the consumer agency or attorney.


Closing Job Requests

The consumer agency and/or attorney has 24 hours after the appearance to close the job request on CoverCrow.
