Pricing
Flat fees* for both services. You know the price before we start.
Second Look
Already have a ruling? A case or order review tells you if an appeal is worth pursuing.
Debt Defender
Sued over a credit card, loan, auto deficiency, or payday loan? One flat fee based on the amount claimed.
Second Look tiers in detail
Three flat-fee* tiers, depending on how much of the record you want reviewed. No hourly billing surprises for the review itself — pick the depth that fits your case and budget.
These fees are flat because AI-assisted tools do the first pass on your record in a fraction of the time manual review would take. A licensed attorney still reviews, edits, and approves everything before it reaches you or the courts. The efficiency lowers the price without lowering the standard.

Choose Comprehensive ReviewStart with any tier and move up later. If you begin with Quick Screen and want the deeper Standard Memo or Comprehensive Review, your fee is credited in full and you pay only the difference. If you decide to move forward with a full appeal and engage us for representation, the review fee is credited toward that engagement.
