Body
Optional note recorded on the resulting status-history entry. Line breaks are collapsed to spaces.
1 - 5000Optional note appended to the referral notes. Line breaks are collapsed to spaces.
10000255YYYY-MM-DD
YYYY-MM-DD
Client fee agreement as a FRACTION of the settlement, 0–1 (0.3333 = 33.33%). Not a whole percent — contrast with sendingFirmPercentage.
0 <= x <= 1Attorney fees in dollars
0 <= x <= 1000000000Projected settlement amount in dollars
0 <= x <= 1000000000Free-text case phase label.
100Response
Updated referral
A referral as seen by either party. Referral-level fields only (financials, resolution, workflow) — client and case details live on the parent case. When the caller is the receiving firm and the referral is still SENT (not yet acknowledged), leadAttorneyName, warmTransferUnsuccessfulReason, warmTransferUnsuccessfulReasonType and notes are null and customFields is empty.
