Case investigation reports
A case investigation report is the first document a firm needs before committing time to a matter. We read the full intake file, build the factual chronology, test liability theories against the record, quantify what the documents support and name what is still missing — then set it out in one document you can act on.
24/7 virtual paralegal support. First 12 working hours free. Then $12 USD/hour after signing.
What the work involves
Full review of intake forms, statements, police and incident reports, correspondence and photographs.
A dated factual chronology with every entry tied to a source page.
Liability analysis against the theories available on the facts, with contrary evidence stated plainly.
Damages picture assembled from the records actually in the file, with gaps flagged rather than assumed.
An evidence-gap list: the records, statements and follow-ups needed to close the file properly.

STEP 05
Delivery
Ready for your review and adoption.
If work does not pass Authorised QA, it returns to the assigned person for correction before anything is delivered.
Questions we are asked
- What do you need from us to start?
- The intake file, your report template if you use one, and the deadline. If you have no template, we deliver in the OASIS standard format and adapt it to your preference from the second matter onwards.
- Who reviews the report before we see it?
- Every report passes two internal rounds — an accuracy review against the source pages, then an editorial review — before delivery. Nothing goes out unreviewed.
