-
Initial Consultation
A 30-minute consultation is held by phone, Zoom, or in person (if local) to discuss the financial concerns, legal context, and available documentation. After the meeting, you’ll receive a written summary outlining the recommended scope of forensic services, estimated timeline, and fee structure.
-
Scope & Agreement
Once the scope is confirmed, a formal engagement letter outlines the forensic work to be performed, hourly rates or flat fees, and confidentiality terms. Services begin once the signed agreement and retainer are received.
-
Information Gathering
Relevant documents - such as bank statements, tax returns, credit card records, or business ledgers—are securely uploaded and reviewed. Materials are organized and categorized based on the case type and scope of the forensic analysis.
-
Detailed Review
Financial records are systematically reviewed to identify income sources, asset movement, and red flags. The process may involve categorizing deposits, analyzing spending patterns, and tracing fund transfers to uncover potential discrepancies or fraud.
-
Findings & Reports
Findings are documented in a clear, organized report tailored to the case. Depending on needs, this may include written analysis, visual exhibits, schedules, or annotated documents—designed to support settlement discussions, mediation, or litigation.
-
Litigation Support & Expert Testimony
Support is provided throughout litigation, including assistance with discovery responses, deposition prep, rebuttal reports, and consultation with legal counsel. Expert witness testimony is available for depositions, hearings, and trial.
Service available Nationwide.
