About Bikram →

Start with the matter in front of you.

One standard of proof, two ways to engage. The right one depends on the stakes, the budget, and whether counsel needs a designated expert.

You know the facts are on your side. The records have to prove it.

Most litigators don't have the hours to rebuild years of bank statements, cost data, or shifting testimony. That's the job we take off your desk.

The dollars are real

Family, partition, business, government contract, or fraud matters where the financial answer moves the outcome.

The story is in the records

Your client's case turns on “who paid what, and when” or “where did the money go.”

The scope has to fit

Fixed fees when a $20,000+ national-firm engagement is out of proportion. A retained expert when the stakes call for one. Never back-of-the-envelope math.

Five steps. No surprises.

Scope and price are settled in writing before any analysis begins.

1

Conflicts, Then the Call

Party and counsel names are cleared first. Then a short call on the disputed numbers and the records that exist.

2

Terms in Writing

A fixed fee for LitigAid work, or hourly against a retainer for expert work. The scope is defined either way.

3

Secure Exchange

Records arrive through your preferred secure channel. Gaps are flagged before analysis starts.

4

Drafts With Counsel

You review draft models with every assumption explained. The presentation fits your strategy. The math doesn't bend.

5

Exhibit-Ready

Models, tables, and visuals for pleadings, mediation, and trial, plus an expert report if counsel designates.

Request a confidential scoping call.

Send two or three sentences about the matter. You'll hear back within one business day on whether it's a fit.

Conflicts are checked before we discuss the merits of any matter.
