How the work begins
The first conversation is with the attorney, not an intake service. We look at the documents you already have, identify what is missing, and give a direct assessment of the position — including when the honest answer is that a claim is not worth bringing.
If we take the matter on, you receive a written engagement agreement setting out scope and fees before any work starts. Where a case crosses borders, we coordinate with counsel in the relevant jurisdiction rather than improvising outside our own.
