"Across the board – particularly in the legal sector and in litigation correspondence -- we are seeing a dramatic increase in the use of email to send PDF letters -- with no way to prove receipt by the opposing party. This is like faxing letters and not keeping a log that the fax was received by the other side -- unacceptable for most. With this common practice, we are exposed. We will be using RPost’s Registered Email service to send out all PDF letters by email for this reason. Now that RPost has included a one-click convert-to-PDF option within its Registered Email service, our lawyers can 'Send Registered', convert to PDF, and receive proof of delivery with as little as two extra clicks.”
-Stan Gibson, trial attorney and partner at Jeffer Mangels Butler & Marmaro LLP

"We regularly send emails on behalf of our clients to NASDAQ, FINRA (CobraDesk) and SEC EDGAR filing agents and it's critical for us to know whether or not our emails were successfully received. Before RPost, we were sending follow-up emails and making phone calls asking recipients if they received our emails. We were wasting a lot of time on follow-up and we could never prove that our emails were received. With RPost, we don’t have to follow up, we don’t have to wonder whether our emails were delivered or whether they were someplace in cyberspace. More importantly, we also receive confirmation of the email delivery that we can keep in our files to prove that the email was received, when it was received and when it was opened. RPost Registered Email is much like registered mail, it gives us the option to choose to send an email by regular email or by registered email. The tracking and proof of email delivery of RPost is priceless. We can't say enough about it."
-Virginia K. Sourlis, Esq., Securities and Corporate Attorney for The Sourlis Law Firm

"RPost's Registered Email service Receipts are admissible as to their fact of delivery, as to their legal time of delivery and as to the authenticity of their content."
-Jon Neiditz, Partner, Locke, Lord, Bissell & Liddell LLP

“If you do nothing in technology for this new year of ’07... I highly recommend that you use RPost Registered Email for all your most important email communications. You will never be sorry and you will only have praise for this time-saving and worry-saving element of your legal practice.”
-Alan Pearlman, attorney, nationally syndicated columnist. Published ALM Law Journal 2007 and ABA Journal 2007

“…We would never allow hard copy matter files to be sent to clients and third parties via standard postal services, so why rely on this for email? RPost presented a simple, all-in-one solution that was easy to deploy, required very little training and did not rely on recipient’s actions or active acceptance.”
-Robert Cohen, IT Director at Speechly Bircham LLP. London

"Registered Email messages hold far greater evidential weight than traditional mail, courier, fax, or email, and therefore, should provide the sender with protection that will stand up to scrutiny in a dispute resolution situation. Registered Email services would provide the sender the upper hand in any legal discovery disputes."
-Judge Dana Senit Henry (retired), Los Angeles Superior Court

“I have found RPost's Registered Email service to be a useful enhancement to ordinary email, and it is easy to use. RPost provides confirmation of delivery, time received, and content, which can be kept for the file as potential evidence.”
-Dan Winston, Partner, Choate, Hall & Stewart LLP

“RPost service has easily saved me hundreds of dollars a month in reduced administrative overhead, time savings, and courier/FedEx cost savings. In addition, on numerous occasions I have averted conflict with clients when they have asserted that I did not provide them with certain notices. By going into my Archive of Registered Emails, I was able to substantiate that the notices were sent and when.”
-Jeffrey Marks, Founder, Marks Law Firm

“Although I’m coming up with new ways to harness the power of RPost Registered Email® all the time, I find RPost most valuable in the process of contract negotiation. When I’m developing a relationship with a new vendor, a clear understanding of sometimes very complicated contract terms is particularly important. RPost has allowed me to trim the variables of any agreement by supplying a fast and reliable means of communication that I can track and confirm with ease at the press of a button.”
-Michael T. Elliott, Marketing Director, Los Angeles County Bar Association

"Registered Email service is ideal for documenting settlement discussions. I also send Registered Email® messages to clients for documenting custody and visitation communications. The 'never got it' excuse goes the way of 'the dog ate my homework.' The exact date and time the email was opened are now known. When sent with the banner showing, it is a subtle reminder the email should be taken seriously."
-Mark J. Warfel, Law Offices of Mark J. Warfel. Arcadia, CA

-Jack Cranley, attorney at law, former Associate General Counsel of CitiMortgage, contributor and editor for the Standards and Procedures for Electronic Signatures and Records publication for the financial services sector.
