Once provided with the pertinent information (typically the medical chart), we conduct a timely screening of your case so you can better allocate your time and in-house resources.

After our assessment is complete, a member of our team will contact you with a verbal recommendation on whether the case appears meritorious. A written report is also available upon request.
