Features
Compass Legal is not a generic matter database with immigration labels bolted on. Each part of the system was built around the way petitions, hearings and deadlines really work.
Every case opens on a track — USCIS filing, removal defense, consular processing or humanitarian relief — and carries the fields that track actually needs: receipt numbers, service centers, priority dates, A-numbers, court and judge.
Statutory clocks are the job. RFE responses, biometrics, interviews, one-year asylum filing and court filing deadlines roll into one firm-wide docket with severity triage so nothing slips.
Master and individual hearings, bond hearings and merits dates, with immigration court and judge on the record and outcomes captured after each appearance.
Checklist-driven storage with review states, client-visibility flags, and archiving instead of deletion — removing a document requires a reason and stays reversible.
Send a secure, password-free link. Clients see their case status and upload exactly the documents you requested — no account, no app, no email attachments.
Semantic search across your entire case record, plus an Ask AI panel on each matter that answers from that file and drafts cover letters and correspondence grounded in the record.
Log time against a matter as you work, issue invoices and track payment status — with billing writes limited to the roles you allow.
USCIS, EOIR and DOL forms linked to their canonical agency pages, with filters and usage tracking so you can see which forms your matters actually run on.
Assign work across the firm with admin, attorney, paralegal and support roles enforced in the database — not just hidden in the UI.
Searchable in-app guides covering intake tracks, docketing, court calendars, archiving, the client portal and case intelligence.
