How the Process Works

Inquiry: send the names of the parties, the type of matter, the jurisdiction, and any deadlines. Please do not send confidential records until the conflict check is complete.

Conflict check: completed before any work begins.

Engagement: the scope of work, fees, and travel costs are confirmed in writing before work begins.

Review and evaluation: records review and, when appropriate, an independent evaluation of the student or adult.

Opinion and testimony: a written report and, if needed, deposition or hearing testimony, in person or remotely.

What You Receive

A written report that lists the records reviewed, the evaluation methods used, the findings, and each opinion with its basis. A current CV is available on request. Opinions are based on the records and evaluation findings, not on which party requests the work.
