FAQ

Answers for the questions attorneys actually ask

Billing, turnaround, jurisdiction, independence, and how a case moves through our process. If your question isn't here, forensic intake will answer it directly.

BILLING & ENGAGEMENT

How is billing handled?

IconIcon

All fees are billed directly to the firm as a litigation case cost, never to the patient. A retainer is required before an evaluation is scheduled. No insurance, no letters of protection, no waiting on adjudication.

Do you publish your fees?

IconIcon

Fees are retainer-based and quoted at intake rather than published. This keeps pricing flexible to the scope of each case and matches standard forensic-industry practice.

Do you offer volume agreements?

IconIcon

Firms running fifteen or more evaluations a year can set up an annual volume agreement with a dedicated point of contact.

TURNAROUND & SCHEDULING

What is your turnaround?

IconIcon

Standard reports are delivered in ten business days.

How quickly is an evaluation date confirmed?

IconIcon

We confirm your evaluation date within twenty-four hours of retainer.

How is a record review handled?

IconIcon

Record review and written opinions, for demand letters, mediation prep, and independent case review, are delivered on a ten-day turnaround.

JURISDICTION & SERVICES

Can you evaluate out-of-state plaintiffs?

IconIcon

Yes. Our neuropsychiatrist holds licensure in 41 states, so Texas firms can have out-of-state plaintiffs evaluated without relocating anyone.

What evaluations does your team perform?

IconIcon

Neuropsychological testing batteries and neuropsychiatric IMEs, expert witness testimony, record review and written opinions, and life care planning. A multi-specialty forensic team covering neuropsychology and neurology under one roof.

Do you provide expert testimony?

IconIcon

Yes. Deposition and trial testimony is calendared through forensic intake, and life care planning projections are delivered fully litigation-ready with testimony.

INDEPENDENCE & DEFENSE WORK

Do you take defense and insurance-defense cases?

IconIcon

Yes. Our forensic division operates independent evaluation protocols and welcomes defense and insurance-defense work.

Are your protocols really independent of the retaining side?

IconIcon

Our forensic division runs independent evaluation protocols, the same evidence-based standards regardless of which side retains us. When you need an evaluation from a provider with no plaintiff history on your case, we're built for it.

PROCESS & RECORDS

How are records transferred?

IconIcon

Through secure, firm-specific file transfer that meets HIPAA requirements, not email. You'll get a simple upload link with automatic confirmation.

How does a firm get started?

IconIcon

Submit a request through the HeadFirst portal, where your firm gets its own secure account from day one. We confirm the evaluation date within twenty-four hours of fee, you send case materials through secure firm-specific transfer, and the litigation-ready report follows in ten business days.
