What Does a Second Opinion on a Legal Case Cost?

An independent second opinion here starts at a flat fee of $297, which covers a docket audit and a consultation call. Deeper written evaluations are quoted before any work begins, so you always know the number first.

There is no hourly billing and no open ended retainer. Every amount on this page is in US dollars.

The price you see is the price.

Every audit starts at $297. If you begin with the Docket Audit and later upgrade, the $297 is credited toward the higher tier. If you choose the Full Case Audit or the Complex Litigation Audit, you place a non refundable $297 deposit that is applied to your final fee, and you receive the complete Docket Audit either way.

Questions about cost

Do you charge by the hour for a case review?: No, every case audit is a flat fee that is quoted and agreed before any work starts, so there is no hourly meter and no surprise invoice. The fee depends on the depth of review you choose. All amounts are in US dollars.
Does the $297 apply if I upgrade to a full audit?: Yes, the $297 you pay for the docket audit is credited toward a larger written evaluation if you decide to upgrade after the first review. You are never charged twice for the same work. The remaining balance is quoted before the deeper review begins.
Is the deposit refundable if I change my mind?: The $297 that starts every audit is non refundable because it covers the docket review work that begins right away, and you receive that review regardless. Nothing further is charged unless you approve a larger scope. You always see the fee before you agree to it.
