Do you sign or file anything?
No. Drafts are for the supervising attorney, who reviews, adopts and signs them.
Can you meet a court deadline?
Tell us the deadline when you send the brief. If it cannot be met with proper checking, we will say so before starting.
How do you handle AI-generated citation risk?
Every authority is read in the original before it is cited. Nothing is cited from a summary or a tool's output alone.
Send the brief. You will have a fixed quote within one business day.
Tell us what the work is, the deadline, and anything we must follow: a template, a citation style, a page limit. If it is outside what we do well, we will say so.
- Fixed fee, agreed in writing before work starts
