Here Are Some Answers:
What type of legal bills can you assess?
We can assess any bill from any lawyer that charges you by the hour has the potential to overcharge you. We can assess bills from civil litigators, family lawyers, criminal lawyers, corporate and commercial lawyers, etc.
How much can I expect my bill to be reduced?
Studies have shown legal fee assessment courts routinely rule in favor of the client and reduce fees from 10-50%.
Do all lawyers overcharge?
No. But we have found that bills can be inflated by 10-30%. Legal services can involve complex and time-consuming tasks that require specialized knowledge and experience, judgment and skills. Sometimes lawyers perform non-essential tasks or fail to delegate tasks to junior lawyers because they are under pressure to meet their firms’ billing targets. We don’t feel clients should pay unfairly in these circumstances.
What kind of legal overcharges do you identify?
Our 10-point proprietary checklist includes items like vague dockets, block billing, research time by senior lawyers, along with many other industry traits.
Are you a law firm?
We are not a law firm and we do not assess the quality of the legal work or services provided by your law firm. Nor are we on a crusade against lawyers or law firms. We do not comment on your lawyer's hourly rate. Our goal is simply to ensure that our clients are getting good value for their money.
