Second Look
Case review by FairCounsel

Know your odds before you spend on an appeal.

Send us the order you got — or honestly, any single filing from the case is enough to start — and we’ll give you a straight, attorney-reviewed memo on whether an appeal is worth pursuing, for a fraction of what a full appeal costs. If we need more of the record, we’ll go get it ourselves.

Why a second look before you appeal

1

Appeals are expensive to find out the hard way

A full Georgia appeal can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Most litigants never get a candid, arm's-length read on their odds before writing that check.

2

Judgment isn't the same as merit

Losing at trial doesn't mean you have a viable appeal, and an unfavorable order isn't always the end of the road. The standard of review and preservation of error decide far more than most people expect.

3

You deserve a straight answer

We tell you plainly whether an appeal is likely to succeed, likely to fail, or somewhere in between — even when that means telling you not to spend the money.

How it works

01

Tell us about your case

A short intake covering the court, parties, and what happened, plus a quick conflict check.

02

Send us what you have

Just the final order or a single pleading is enough to start. If we need more of the record, we'll go get it — from you, opposing counsel, or the court.

03

Attorney-reviewed memo

Christopher McClurg reviews the record and delivers a written memo: standard of review, issue-by-issue viability, and a candid recommendation.

04

Decide with clear eyes

If the appeal looks strong, you can engage us to handle it. If it doesn't, you'll know before spending a fraction of what a full appeal would cost.

Honest pricing, plainly explained

We use modern tools to move fast

Reviewing a record and preparing a first draft used to take days of billable hours. We use AI-assisted tools to do that groundwork in a fraction of the time — and we're not going to pretend otherwise.

You pay a flat fee*, not for hours that didn't happen

Because the groundwork moves faster, our fee is flat. Plenty of firms use similar tools now and still bill hour by hour as if nothing changed; we'd rather price honestly for how the work actually gets done.

A licensed attorney reviews and approves everything

AI drafts a starting point. Every memo is personally reviewed, edited, and approved by a licensed attorney before it's ever sent to you. The tools change how fast you get an answer, not who's accountable for it.

* Our flat fees cover the attorney work described for your matter. They do not include court filing fees, process-server or other service fees, court reporter and transcript fees, record or document retrieval fees, postage, or similar third-party costs. Those are billed separately, at cost.

Don’t spend an appeal’s worth of money to find out you shouldn’t have.
