Life and Disability Benefits Claims: Initial Case Assessment and Written Evaluation
A written evaluation of a Life and Disability Benefits Claims matter before you commit to filing or defending.
We review the documents you provide, identify the claims and defenses actually available, and give you a candid read on the strong and weak parts of the case. The memo closes with a recommended path, a realistic timeline, and the decision points that will drive cost. Prepared by an MC Law attorney and reviewed before it leaves the firm, so the position you take before filing is one you can hold afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
The fee covers review of the documents and correspondence you provide, the finished document, ready to send or to hold, and a short written note on the risks and the recommended next step. It is fixed at this scope: written evaluation up to 10 pages, and one follow-up call included. 1 round of revisions are included. If your matter falls outside that scope we tell you before starting and quote the difference — we do not bill past a flat fee without agreeing it first.
1 to 2 weeks from a complete set of instructions, plus time for the 1 round of revisions included in the fee. If you are working to a court deadline or a closing date, tell us when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can meet it before you commit.
$2,775 is $325/hour × 8.5 hours — the time this deliverable takes in an ordinary life and disability benefits claims matter, at the firm's standard rate. Because it is a flat fee, the risk of the work running long sits with the firm: you pay $2,775 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
Third-party costs are never inside a flat fee and are passed through at cost, never marked up: court and agency filing fees, court reporter and transcript charges, expert witness fees, search vendor and e-discovery hosting charges, process server fees, and travel.
A short description of the dispute and where it currently stands, the key documents, contracts, and correspondence, the parties involved and any deadlines already running, and the case caption and court, if a matter has been filed. Send what you have — if something is missing we will tell you what else we need before the turnaround clock starts.
