What to Expect from Service Engagements
All engagements produce a written findings memo built to evidentiary standard. Scope, deliverables, cost, and turnaround are confirmed in writing before any work begins. Use this page to identify which engagement fits your situation and what to gather before you submit.
You have a case, a situation, or a set of documents and you need a direct assessment of what you have before you decide what to do with it.
- A written description of your situation: who is involved, what happened, what you are trying to understand
- Any relevant documents you have: court records, correspondence, filings, reports
- A specific question or set of questions you need answered
- A timeline of key events if you have one
- Direct assessment of the documented strengths and weaknesses of your situation
- Identification of the most significant gaps in the record
- A specific next-steps framework based on what is actually documented
- Written assessment delivered within the session window
You have documentation on a wrongful conviction matter and need to know whether what you have warrants deeper investigation and formal review before committing resources, an attorney, or an advocacy organization to anything further.
- Police reports, arrest records, and investigative records you have obtained
- Trial transcripts or any available hearing transcripts
- Court docket and any available filed documents
- Any Brady or disclosure material you are aware of
- A written description of what you believe went wrong and why
- Any post-conviction filings or prior review correspondence
- What the primary source record shows and does not show
- Identified evidentiary gaps ranked by significance
- Documented procedural failure points mapped to MRPC and case law standards
- Assessment of whether the case warrants deeper investigation
- Specific next-steps framework based on the documented record
Submit documentation to hello@clutchjustice.com with subject line: Wrongful Conviction Review: [Case Name]. Rita will confirm receipt and scope within one to two business days. Work begins within five to seven business days of agreement.
You have an unsolved case and need a structured forensic review of the existing public record that produces documented findings about what the original investigation missed.
- All primary source documents you have obtained on the case
- The case name, jurisdiction, and approximate date range of the original investigation
- A description of the specific questions you need the review to answer
- Any prior investigation or review work already completed
- Any documents you know exist but have not yet obtained
- Case timeline reconstructed from primary sources only
- Investigative gaps identified and ranked by significance
- Contradictions mapped across documents, witness accounts, and physical evidence records
- Specific documentation of where the record fails to support the stated conclusions
- Findings structured for use by advocates, producers, or researchers
Submit an intake at clutchjustice.com/forensics-procedural-abuse-consulting/ or email hello@clutchjustice.com with the case name, jurisdiction, and a brief description of what you need. Rita will respond within one to two business days.
Your project is built on a compelling narrative. Before it goes to air or print, someone needs to verify whether the narrative holds up against the primary source record. The correction that prevents a retraction is cheaper than the retraction.
- Your script, outline, or treatment document
- All primary source documents your narrative relies on
- A list of factual claims that require primary source verification
- Identification of which claims are most critical to the narrative
- Turnaround requirements and publication timeline
- Claim-by-claim verification status: supported, unsupported, or overstated
- Specific primary source citations for supported claims
- Recommended corrections for unsupported or overstated claims
- Identification of gaps that require additional documentation before publication
Email hello@clutchjustice.com with a project brief including the type of project (documentary, podcast, book), the subject matter, approximate length or episode count, and your publication or release timeline. Rita will respond within one to two business days with proposed scope and price.
Your attorney’s conduct does not add up. The billing, the filings, or the correspondence tells a different story than what you were told. Before you file an AGC complaint or decide your next move, you need to know what the documented record actually shows.
- All written correspondence with the attorney: letters, emails, and texts
- All billing statements and invoices
- All documents the attorney filed on your behalf
- The retainer agreement or engagement letter if you have it
- A written timeline of key events in your own words, in chronological order
- Conduct mapped against applicable MRPC obligations with specific rule references
- Pattern identification across correspondence, billing, and filings
- Assessment of whether the documented record supports a grievance basis
- Findings structured for AGC submission or attorney consultation
Payment is not processed until scope is confirmed in writing. Book the slot, submit documentation to hello@clutchjustice.com, and Rita will confirm scope and collect payment before work begins. This protects you in situations that may not fit the scope of this review.
You have a physical or digital archive of case materials that is not organized, not searchable, and not reviewed for what it actually contains. You need the archive to be usable before you can work with it.
- Organized, searchable digital archive
- OCR processing of scanned documents
- Forensic findings memo documenting archive contents, gaps, and anomalies
- Delivery in agreed format: publicly accessible or internal use
Email hello@clutchjustice.com with a description of the archive: approximate document volume, current format (physical boxes, scanned PDFs, mixed), any existing organization, and the intended use of the organized archive. Rita will respond within one to two business days.
You have a case archive that needs to be searchable, organized, and accessible to a team or to the public. A folder of files is not a research tool. This builds the tool.
Email hello@clutchjustice.com with a project brief: the source archive description, required functionality, intended users (public, internal team, research organization), and any timeline requirements. Rita will respond within one to two business days.
