         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the logic when executed by a processor:
 determines the location of other clients in proximity to the client, and   invites, based on such proximity, other clients to capture media corresponding to the event.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic when executed by a processor:
 establishes communications with one or more designated contacts associated with the client.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic when executed by a processor:
 alerts one or more candidate legal professionals to establishes communication with the system prior to selecting the legal professional.
