In a moment when overwhelmed immigration lawyers are fielding more calls than ever, California-based attorney and legal tech entrepreneur Robert Simon is offering a solution — and making it free.
Simon, co-founder of the Justice Team and Attorney Share, announced on Instagram this week that all lawyers can now access the Attorney Share platform at no cost, enabling them to automatically route, track, and manage referrals for cases outside their specialties.
“Every lawyer please get a FREE account at www.attorneyshare.com,” Simon wrote in a post that quickly gained traction among legal professionals. “Hook up the product to your intake… and it’ll autopost and route all cases you do not specialize in to the right fit and track the status. All FREE.”
The goal, he said, is simple: to close the widening gap between people in crisis and the lawyers who can help them.
Access to Justice. That’s What This Is
In an accompanying video, Simon walks viewers through how his legal referral system works. Speaking directly to fellow attorneys, he explained how the Justice Team app — available for free download — can instantly connect clients with lawyers across practice areas.
“If [a case] involves immigration, of which I do not do… it’ll automatically route through our product called Attorney Share to all of these immigration lawyers,” Simon said, showing dozens of active referrals in real time. “Look how many immigration cases are sitting in there right now — for free.”
He emphasized that the system is built to streamline communication between law firms and to make sure “no client falls through the cracks.” The platform integrates with Clio, a leading law practice management tool, allowing lawyers to track every referral and update case statuses automatically.
“This is access to justice,” Simon said in his post. “Please share with every lawyer you know. We’re the last line of defense.”
A Free Lifeline for Immigration Lawyers
Immigration lawyers, Simon noted, are “overwhelmed” — facing enormous caseloads tied to ongoing federal enforcement actions, asylum claims, and detention challenges. Attorney Share, he said, waived all technology fees for lawyers handling immigration matters, allowing them to vet and sign cases through a central portal and connect with other attorneys nationwide.
“Even if you cannot help, there are thousands of lawyers nationwide who can,” Simon said. “We can do this.”
His appeal has struck a chord at a time when immigration law practitioners are reporting burnout and clients are struggling to find affordable, competent representation.
Tech Meets Moral Responsibility
Simon’s announcement blends two currents reshaping the American legal landscape — the rise of legal technology and a renewed emphasis on moral responsibility among lawyers.
Platforms like Attorney Share reflect how automation, once reserved for corporate clients, is now being used to democratize access to legal services. But Simon’s pitch also carries something deeper: a call to the legal profession’s conscience.
“Let people know you can help,” he urged. “Even if it’s referring them to a specialist.”
It’s a reminder that while justice is often slow — and sometimes bureaucratic — technology can help make compassion more efficient.
