Six stages, from confidential consultation to ongoing case monitoring.
The same careful process whether your case ultimately fits under the SEC, CFTC, IRS, or False Claims Act — or doesn't fit any of them.
Confidential Initial Consultation
A conversation about what you've seen, with no requirement to name your employer or identify yourself until you're ready.
Program Fit Assessment
We assess whether the facts point toward an SEC, CFTC, IRS, or False Claims Act program, or toward none of them — the most common outcome, and one we're direct about.
Evidence & Timeline Documentation
Organizing what you already have into a clear, chronological account — the format an attorney will actually need to evaluate the case quickly.
Attorney Network Matching
Introduction to an independent attorney with specific experience in the program your case fits, not a generalist handling it as a side matter.
Filing & Submission Support
Your attorney handles the actual filing. We stay available to help organize anything additional the process surfaces.
Ongoing Case Monitoring
These cases commonly take years, not months. We check in periodically so you're not navigating the silence alone, even after the active evaluation work is done.
The waiting is the hardest, least-discussed part.
A False Claims Act case stays under seal while the Department of Justice decides whether to intervene — a review period that's supposed to take 60 days and routinely runs much longer. SEC and IRS cases can take even longer to resolve. Nobody prepares people for how much of this process is simply waiting, confidentially, without updates. We try to at least prepare people for that part honestly.
