Common Questions About
Expert Witness Pricing

Do I pay anything upfront?

No. You’ll never pay to start a search. We take no money upfront and charge no subscriptions. Once you’re ready to retain a referred expert, you’ll pay only a $250 retention fee along with the expert’s individual retainer.

Are consultations really free?

Yes. Every expert offers a complimentary 15-minute consultation before you commit. It’s a chance to confirm the expert’s fit and ensure alignment before any payment is made.

How fast can I expect results?

Most expert searches are completed within 7–14 business days, depending on complexity.. In many cases, experts are located even sooner. You’ll receive confirmation within 24 hours that your search has begun.

What if I need an expert urgently?

If you need an expert in 10 days or less, simply select “Rush Matter” on the submission form. Rush cases are prioritized immediately, with an accelerated search process and a $500 retention fee once the expert is retained.

Do you charge extra for complex or specialized cases?

No. Even for highly specialized searches, you’ll never be charged additional sourcing fees. Your quote reflects the expert’s rates and the agreed-upon retention.

What happens after I retain an expert?

Once you’ve retained your expert, a dedicated case manager joins your team. They’ll coordinate scheduling, phone calls, and logistics, serving as an extension of your firm from start to finish.
