How It Works
A process built to get you the right review — and never overpay
The quick intake is not a hoop to jump through. It is how your claim issue is pinpointed, matched to the correct review, and priced in writing before you ever pay or upload a single document.
01
Tell us about the claim — free
Start with the free Risk Calculator or a short intake. No cost, no commitment, and no documents yet — you are simply describing the issue.
02
We pinpoint the right review
Your intake is personally reviewed so the claim issue is understood and matched to the right review — so you are never sold more than you need.
03
You see the scope and price in writing first
Before you pay anything, you receive the exact scope and fixed price in writing. No surprise charges and no pressure.
04
You share documents only after you approve
Nothing is requested until you approve the scope. Your file stays confidential, and you control when it is shared.
05
You get a clear review you can act on
You receive a practical, plain-language written review of the concerns, claim position, and recommended next steps — built to use right away.

Why a Review Is Worth It
Six-figure claim decisions deserve a clear written review.
