Case Analysis Session – What To Expect
Case Analysis Session
What to send. What to expect.
This document is for clients who have booked a Case Analysis Session. It tells you exactly what to submit before your session, what the session covers, and what you will leave with. Read it before you send anything.
The session. Plainly stated.
The Case Analysis Session is a 60-minute direct review of the materials you submit before we meet. You send the documents. I read them. We talk about what you actually have. You leave with a clear assessment of the documented strengths, the documented weaknesses, the gaps, and a specific next-steps framework based on what the record shows.
Legal advice. Legal representation. An attorney referral service. Ongoing case support. A full forensic review. Therapy or crisis support for families in acute distress. If what you need is legal representation, a full forensic case review starting at $750, or ongoing advocacy support, this session will tell you that directly and point you toward the right track.
How to prepare.
The session is only as useful as the documents behind it. This is not a conversation about your situation in the abstract. It is a read of the documented record. The more complete your submission, the more specific and useful the findings will be.
Submit documents at least 48 hours before your session
I need time to read everything before we meet. Submissions received less than 48 hours before a session may not be fully reviewed. If you cannot submit that far ahead, email hello@clutchjustice.com to discuss whether rescheduling makes sense.
Send what you have, not what you think you should have
Do not spend hours organizing before you send. An honest read of your actual document state is more useful than a curated packet designed to look complete. If you have two relevant documents, send two. The gaps are part of the analysis.
Include a one-paragraph case summary
Write one paragraph, plainly. What happened, who is involved, what you are trying to figure out. No legal arguments. No narrative persuasion. What the situation is and what question you need answered. This is for context only. The documents are the evidence.
Tell me what you need to know
At the bottom of your summary, state your specific question. Not “is my case good?” but “does the police report timeline match the autopsy findings?” or “is there documentation of Brady material that was not disclosed?” The more specific the question, the more directly the session can address it.
Send everything to hello@clutchjustice.com
PDF format preferred. If you have physical documents only, photograph them clearly and submit as a ZIP file. Label your files with document type and date where possible (e.g., “police-report-2019-04-12.pdf”). Disorganized submissions are acceptable. Unlabeled files slow things down.
Send these for any engagement.
Regardless of your case type, these are the foundational documents. If you do not have one of these, note that in your submission. The absence is relevant information.
Core Documents
These apply whether your matter is a cold case, a wrongful conviction, an attorney conduct question, or a documentary project. If you have it, send it. If you do not, say so.
Send them anyway. An organized analysis of a disorganized record is part of what this session produces. You do not need to have everything sorted before you submit. What you must not do is send a curated selection of only the strongest documents. The full record, including the weak spots, is what makes the analysis honest and useful.
Additional documents by case type.
In addition to the universal checklist above, send the documents listed under your specific case type. If your matter crosses tracks (a cold case with a wrongful conviction angle, for example), pull from both lists.
Unsolved cases and historical investigations
For families and organizations working an unsolved matter. Focus is on what the original investigation documented, what it missed, and where the record fails to support the stated conclusions.
Active incarceration or post-conviction matters
For families and advocacy organizations supporting someone who has been convicted and believes the conviction is wrongful. Focus is on the documented evidentiary and procedural record, not the narrative of innocence.
Pre-publication primary source verification
For producers and journalists who need the documented record checked against a narrative before it goes to air or print. The goal is to find where your story departs from what the documents show, before publication creates that problem for you.
AGC complaints and MRPC documentation
For individuals and families considering or preparing an Attorney Grievance Commission complaint. The review maps documented conduct against MRPC obligations. The record either supports the grievance or it does not.
A few things worth reading.
Documents submitted for a Case Analysis Session are used only for the purposes of that session. They are not shared, published, or retained beyond the engagement without your explicit consent. If your matter involves active litigation, note that in your submission so the session is scoped appropriately.
Do not submit sealed documents or materials subject to a protective order without first consulting with your attorney about whether that submission is permissible. If you are uncertain, describe the documents and their contents in your summary rather than submitting the documents themselves. Flag this in your submission.
Email hello@clutchjustice.com. Questions about whether your situation fits this session, what to submit, or whether a different service track would be more appropriate are answered directly. You do not need to have everything figured out before you reach out.
This document does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Nothing in this analysis constitutes representation or legal counsel. If your situation requires legal representation, consult a licensed attorney.
