A Lawyer Reviews Your Case.
We File and Represent You.

$1,500 upfront plus a negotiated contingency on recovery (% set client-by-client, agreed in writing before any work begins). A licensed attorney reviews your case, provides insights and strategic guidance, and leads your claim from intake through the commission's decision.

What's Included

⚖️
Lawyer Reviews Your Case

A licensed attorney personally reviews your facts, documents, and timeline. You receive written insights on your claim's strengths and weaknesses, a candid assessment of likely outcomes, and strategic guidance on how to position your case for the highest possible recovery.

📞
1:1 Intake Call with the Legal Team

A 60-minute call with your assigned attorney. You walk through your full account — dates, agencies, harm suffered — and the attorney provides direct guidance on next steps, evidence gaps, and how to strengthen your claim.

📝
Attorney-Drafted Claim Narrative

A licensed attorney writes your 3–5 page claim narrative: the federal action, the political motivation evidence, and the quantified harm — in the format federal claim commissions expect.

📂
Document Review & Gap Analysis

We review everything you provide and deliver a written gap analysis — which records to obtain via FOIA, from witnesses, or from your accountant — before filing.

🔍
FOIA Strategy & Filing

We identify and submit FOIA requests for agency records — inspector general reports, agent emails, audit files, surveillance logs — and integrate them into your claim submission.

🏛️
Commission Filing & Representation

Your attorney handles formal submission to the commission and represents you through supplemental requests and review proceedings.

We're aligned with your outcome.

You pay $1,500 upfront — then a contingency on whatever you recover, with the percentage locked in writing before any work begins. We have every reason to fight hard for your maximum award.

Questions

Does a lawyer actually review my case?
Yes. A licensed attorney personally reviews your facts, supporting documents, and timeline, and provides written insights and strategic guidance. You'll have a 1:1 intake call with that attorney and the attorney drafts and files your claim.
What's the contingency percentage?
The contingency is negotiated on a client-by-client basis and locked into a written engagement agreement before any work begins. The contingency is only owed if you actually recover — if you receive nothing, you owe nothing beyond the $1,500 retainer.
Is the $1,500 refundable?
Yes, in full, if we determine at intake that your case has no viable basis for a claim. Once work begins on your file, the retainer is non-refundable.
What types of cases does Standard cover?
IRS targeting, FBI investigations, DOJ prosecutions, FACE Act enforcement against pro-life activists, school board parent surveillance, COVID mandate enforcement, political speech investigations, and conservative nonprofit/business targeting. See our Claim Types guide.
How is this different from Enterprise?
Standard covers individual and business claims with a known scope. Enterprise is for large organizations with multi-entity claims, $1M+ in damages, or cases requiring senior partner assignment and expert witness coordination.
I already bought the Starter Package. Can I upgrade?
Yes — your $199 is credited toward the $1,500 retainer. Contact us with your order number to apply the credit before purchasing Standard.
