FREE Service "Appeal Help XTra"





Dear Friends:    

We have introduced a new FREE service to all of you who are looking for legal news and case updates. We call this service "Appeal Help XTra." This free service started from December 12, 2011, and provides you the following:

MONDAYS :  Latest Court decisions and Commentary      from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.

TUESDAYS : Latest Court decisions and Commentary from the 4th, 5th and 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.

WEDNESDAYS : Latest Court decisions and Commentary from the 7th, 8th and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

THURSDAYS :  Latest Court decisions and Commentary from the 10th, 11th and D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

FRIDAYS  : Cases and news involving Prison and Prisoner's Issues.

SATURDAYS:  Educational Content: Brief Writing Tips, Constitutional Issues and some Legal Humor.

To sign up for this free service, add appealhelpXT@ymail.com in your Trulincs Account. We will approve your invitation within 24 hours of receipt.  The normal AppealHelp daily legal news will continue as it is currently being delivered. The new AppealHelpXTra is started as a separate service so that those currently using appealhelp do not have to pay more from their BOP Trulincs account for reading the extra legal matter.

We share our commitment with all of you fighting for your freedom and hope this new service will be another step towards fulfilling our promise to you. Happy Holidays.

Thank You.

LR211 Legal Research Service






Dear Friends:

 We get a lot of emails asking us legal questions.  While we are not a law firm and do not have lawyers working for us, we have now entered into contract with some Para-legal research assistants.  These assistants will be able to research your legal issues and provide you with information of case-laws which control the precise legal matter and also will be able to comment on the soundness of your legal issue.  But, the legal research is currently limited to Federal Criminal and Civil law and United States Constitutional issues only.

 So if you are pre-trial inmate who wants to make certain that your lawyer is not misguiding you in any legal matter, or you are currently in your direct appeal or post conviction proceedings and want to confirm that the issue you have in your mind is a valid legal argument, or you just want to have a second opinion of the legal issue you have in your mind, you can send us a request with the following information to accesslegalaide@ymail.com: (Please mention service code as LR211 in the subject line)

 1. Your Full Name

2. Name of Your District Court

3. Briefly explain your Legal Issue.

 We will then forward your request to the legal researcher to provide you the relevant case-law and comments. (Please note that this would NOT be a legal advice). It would normally take about 48-72 hours to research your issue and send the response to you. The fees for this service would be $50 (to be paid in advance) for each legal issue you want our assistants to research. Once the researcher spends time in research for a topic, the fees cannot be refunded to you. Though, we are confident that you will be pleased with the results provided by our researchers.

 

 Sincerely,

 

 Appeal Help Team
