What happens when you hold.

Press and hold the disc. You don’t type anything, call anyone, or explain. After the hold, a countdown sends for help on its own.

We take it from here.

“Your lawyer has made contact.”

ELA Ops sends that message in the app’s case thread. From the hold to your lawyer’s first contact, the case never waits on your phone.

The case thread with ELA Ops: Got it. A law firm has taken on your case and will be in touch shortly. Then: Your lawyer has made contact.

Example timeline. Timings vary by case.

Phone locked, dead or taken: the response still runs.

Once the hold commits, the response runs on ELA’s servers, not on your phone. Your case brief, location and profile are already with the response team, and every step after is tracked there.

Your Apple Watch holds too.

The same three seconds, from your wrist, with your phone in a bag or on a desk.

Example timeline. Timings vary by case.
