How We Work

Our Process

A clear, structured approach from your first contact to a professional research report a legal team can act on.

Every case we take goes through the same six-step process. This consistency allows us to be thorough, organized, and transparent about where each case stands at any given time.

01

Submit Your Information

Everything begins with our intake form. We ask for basic personal information, conviction details, current case status, and any documents you can provide. You do not need to have everything — submit what you have.

All submissions are treated confidentially. We do not share your information with third parties without your consent.

What to Include

  • Full name and contact information
  • Prison number and facility (if applicable)
  • Conviction year, charges, and sentence
  • Current appeal or petition status
  • Any documents already in your possession
02

Initial Screening

Our team reviews your submission to assess whether we can assist, what additional documents may be needed, and what the scope of the case looks like at first glance.

We will contact you or the family member who submitted the form to discuss the case and answer preliminary questions. This is not a legal consultation — it is a factual conversation about next steps.

What Happens Here

  • Review of submitted materials
  • Initial assessment of case type and scope
  • Identification of missing critical documents
  • Contact to discuss next steps
03

Case Review

This is the foundational phase. We examine all available trial records, court filings, police reports, forensic evidence, and witness statements. We look for what is in the record — and critically, what is missing.

Gaps We Look For

  • Undisclosed Brady material
  • Missing crime scene documentation
  • Inconsistencies in witness accounts
  • Forensic methodology issues
  • Chain of custody problems
04

Research & Investigation

Based on case review findings, we conduct targeted legal research and factual investigation — public records requests, witness location, timeline reconstruction, and research into case-specific legal issues. Every source is documented.

Investigation Tools

  • FOIA / public records requests
  • Witness identification and outreach
  • Court and media archive research
  • Expert witness identification
  • Timeline and event reconstruction
05

Professional Report Delivered

We compile findings into a structured report organized for use by attorneys. It includes a case summary, identified legal issues with citations, evidence inventory, witness information, and recommended areas for further attention. The report is a research tool — not a legal filing.

Report Contents

  • Executive case summary
  • Issue-by-issue legal research with citations
  • Evidence index and chain of custody notes
  • Witness contact summaries
  • Disclosure gap analysis
  • Recommended next steps for counsel
06

Support Attorney Strategy

Our work does not end at delivery. We remain available to the legal team to clarify findings, retrieve additional documents, conduct supplemental research, and assist as the case moves through the legal process. Post-conviction work is often long and iterative — we are here for the duration.

Ongoing Support

  • Supplemental research on request
  • Additional records retrieval
  • Document organization as case evolves
  • Available for attorney Q&A on findings
