Here’s how our platform works, how our pricing is structured, and why so many people (and lawyers) prefer working through Drift.
What Drift is
Drift is a legaltech platform. We help you prepare your immigration application and connect you with a licensed immigration lawyer who reviews, advises, or represents your case.
We’re not a law firm. Legal advice comes directly from our partner lawyers.
What we provide is everything around that: templates, timelines, coordination, and structure — so the process is smoother, faster, and less stressful for everyone involved.
Why lawyers like working with Drift
Our partner lawyers are licensed immigration lawyers who choose to work through Drift because it helps them focus where they add the most value.
We handle:
Admin, formatting, document prep
Client coordination and expectations
Test bookings, deadline reminders, follow-ups
First-line support for common questions
This means lawyers can spend more time on strategy and legal work — not logistics.
They’re paid fairly, set their scope, and receive well-prepared clients. That’s better for them — and for you.
Why this model works better for most people
Trying to work with a lawyer on your own can be frustrating — not because they’re bad at their job, but because the system isn’t built for ease or speed.
You might email five law firms and never hear back.
Or wait two weeks for a response that doesn’t clarify much.
You show up missing one document — and lose months.
Or you’re told you don’t qualify, when you actually do.
Lawyers often don’t have time to guide you through every admin step. That’s not their fault. But it leaves gaps — and Drift fills those gaps.
