Flat-fee case evaluation
Case Strategy Audit
A flat-fee case evaluation for Florida attorneys: $600
Have a case sitting around without a clear plan? The Case Strategy Audit gives you an experienced second set of eyes and a clear plan for what comes next. We review the file, audit the case, and give you a written roadmap with specific next steps, then walk you through it on a call.
