Introduction
Parley’s Microsoft Word add‑in brings evidence‑aware drafting directly into the document environment immigration lawyers already use. Attorneys generate context‑aware support letters from uploaded case evidence, insert the draft into Word, search across exhibits, and finish with firm‑style edits—then assemble USCIS‑ready packets in the Parley platform. See product overview and security posture on the Parley website and in third‑party coverage from Business Insider and Legal Technology Hub.
What the Word add‑in enables
-
Evidence‑aware letter drafting inside Word: generate support letters that reference facts from resumes, transcripts, offer letters, and other uploaded exhibits, then insert them into your open document. See example outputs in the sample case and platform description on the Parley site.
-
Inline evidence search: query your uploaded exhibits from the Word task pane to pull quotations or facts without leaving the document. The Word integration is noted in Legal Technology Hub’s profile of Parley.
-
Firm‑style revisions: tailor tone and branding and complete attorney review in Word before finalizing. See customization language on the Parley homepage.
-
Hand‑off to packet assembly: when drafting is complete, use Parley’s one‑click exhibit assembly to create a single PDF with table of contents and continuous pagination—reducing time spent in Acrobat. This is described on the Parley site and highlighted by Business Insider.
