Before the record is sent.

What does the reconciliation deliver?
A single sourced chronology counsel can put in front of a jury: what each source says happened at each moment, and exactly where the accounts separate.
What does retention cost?
A non-refundable $9,000 flat fee covering discovery review and the written expert report, with a bullet-point outline approved with counsel before writing begins. The full published schedule is on the For Counsel page.
