Vreeland Legal, Inc., is comprised of a group of highly skilled legal assistants, paralegals, private investigators, and expert witnesses in every aspect of criminal, civil, and immigration law as it applies to all state / federal courts in the United States of America, and its territories.
Vreeland Legal, Inc., has immediate access to more than 1,000,000 lawyers across the United States of America and its territories who specialize in criminal, civil, and immigration law and the state and federal rights of incarcerated persons.
Vreeland Legal, Inc., has, in addition to our own in-house legal assistants, paralegals, private investigators, and expert witnesses, access to more than 150,000 house legal assistants, paralegals, private investigators, expert witnesses, and extremely skilled attorneys at law in the criminal, civil, and immigration fields.
Vreeland Legal, Inc., and its associates have more than 75 years of legal experience in assisting state and federal incarcerated persons in their efforts to seek and obtain justice, release from illegal incarceration, relief from unconstitutional conditions of confinement, released from immigration detention, as well as well-deserved relief from police/state or federal agent abuses and misconduct.
Vreeland Legal, Inc., understands that after conviction or immigration detention there is basically no state or federal right to counsel. Other than appointment for direct appeal there is no right for appointment of counsel to assist in researching and drafting post-conviction claims and litigation, no right to counsel in civil litigation except in very rare circumstances, and when in immigration detention, the lawyers appointed usually don't provide speedy solutions to seek release from confinement.
At Vreeland Legal, Inc., we understand that jails, prisons, and detention centers may have law libraries, or access to the equivalent, 90% of the time the incarcerated person does not know how to properly use these limited resources.
Reviewing a case looking for errors and violations of law and right, legal research, deciding what claims are valid and which are not, and then how to draft the claims, what forms to use and how to file the legal documents can be extremely overwhelming for an incarcerated person or their loved ones with no counsel, but these are the very basics of what incarcerated persons without lawyers require to protect their rights and secure release or relief in their specific circumstances.
At Vreeland Legal, Inc., we assist incarcerated persons and their loved ones with every aspect of the litigation process, and basically do it all as a “Pro Se Partner” with the unrepresented incarcerated person and their loved ones.
As detailed in the next section the incarcerated person or their loved one becomes a member of Vreeland Legal, Inc., private client group. After joining, the client can do one of two things; One, send a letter to Vreeland Legal, Inc., on the pre-printed question forms you will be sent once you become a member, and on those forms you detail the legal issue and mail it in; or Two, the member sends an e-mail or text message detailing the legal issue the client is facing.
After detailing the issue, the member asks Vreeland Legal, Inc., questions about what the law says about the issue, and can detail what questions the client needs answered in regard to whatever the state or federal issue the client is facing.
Vreeland Legal, Inc., receives the details and questions and then sends an electronic response via Securas, ViaPath, JPay letter, or whatever tablet the facility offers the incarcerated person.
Vreeland Legal, Inc., also provides written documents when required, or printed forms, by US mail. If the client has valid claims to file in a state or federal court regarding criminal post-conviction, appeal, civil litigation, or immigration claims, the client is then sent all the required legal forms with instructions on how to complete the forms and file the claims. If there is any confusion regarding what needs to be done, all the client needs to do is send a text or e-mail to Vreeland Legal, Inc., and an answer is provided.
Vreeland Legal, Inc., acts as a “Pro Se Partner” with the unrepresented incarcerated person and their loved ones, walking the client through each and every step of the legal process just as if Vreeland Legal, Inc., was the Pro Se incarcerated person.
Once you obtain your membership further detailed instructions and question forms will be sent to you via US mail or electronically, depending on what electronic communication is provided at the facility the member is incarcerated at.
The paper and/or electronic forms the member receives from Vreeland Legal, Inc., asks basic questions about the member’s situation. The member then sends them in for review and response and the members’ litigation is on its way to the courthouse. Remember all of this can be done through the tablet or e-mail or text device that the facility you are incarcerated at provides you.
Vreeland Legal, Inc., offers incarcerated persons different avenues for assistance.
Pro Se Motion Typing and Filing Service:
​
This service involves assisting individuals who are representing themselves in court (pro se litigants) with the preparation, typing, and filing of legal pleadings. Pro se litigants may have difficulty navigating the legal system and understanding the procedural requirements for filing pleadings. This service provides them with practical assistance in drafting and submitting these documents based on the words and arguments prepared by the pro se party. The focus here is on administrative support, helping pro se litigants effectively present their legal issues to the courts.
​
Full Case Evidence Review and Assistance as a Pro Se Partner:
​
This service goes beyond administrative support and involves a more comprehensive review of the case, evidence and documents. This review is mostly conducted by legal assistants and private investigators. As a "pro se partner," Vreeland Legal Inc. will collaborate closely with the pro se litigant to develop legal strategies suggested by the pro se party, identify relevant case law, and craft persuasive arguments. The ultimate goal is to help the pro se litigant present a strong case in court, potentially leading to a favorable outcome. Additionally, this service can involve efforts to secure representation by one of our associated attorneys, at state expense, if it is determined that having legal counsel is necessary or beneficial for the case.
​
A Full Case Evidence Review is where we meticulously examine all aspects of your case with you.
​
Following this review, we provide an report and evaluation of your case's merit and discuss potential next steps with you and your family. It's important to note that we cannot offer legal representation ourselves, but we can assist you as a pro-se partner.
Rest assured, we strive to ensure that all our members receive thorough and diligent support in their legal matters. In this situation we ask you to write us a letter detailing the entire case, what you want to achieve and would like to file, and what you want in it. Send us all documents in support.
We also make efforts to try and get whatever there is out there that you tell us is available and we read everything. We then put it all together and, if we discover something, we draft a pleading with you. We send it to you and have you review it. If you like it, you sign it and mail it to the courthouse, if you want it edited, you tell us and we do that as well. If there are documents that need to be obtained from a different source, we reach out to gather them for you as well. It’s a Pro Se Partner Program, so we are doing it all with you, every step of the way.
