Engagement

How retaining us actually works

Four steps. No mystery, no discovery call that turns into a sales process.

Conflict check — immediate

You send party names. We run them against our matter database and confirm clear or conflicted immediately.

Scoping call — free, 20–30 minutes

The claims, the data available, the deadlines, the theory. We tell you what is provable, what is not, and what data you need to demand.

Written scope and budget

Before any engagement letter: defined deliverables, an hours estimate by phase, and the retainer. You know the number before you commit.

Preliminary analysis first

We produce a preliminary damages range before writing a report, so you can make settlement decisions early rather than after the expert budget is spent.

Fees

Rates and CV, sent together

Rates depend on which expert the matter needs and what the analysis requires. We send the schedule with the CV the moment you ask.

No contingent fees. Our compensation is never tied to the outcome or the size of the damages figure — a NAFE ethical requirement, and the first thing opposing counsel asks at deposition.

Next step

Send us the party names. We clear conflicts immediately.

No engagement, no cost, no sales process. If we're conflicted or not the right expert, we'll say so and point you somewhere useful.
