Our approach
An opinion is only worth what its independence and its evidence are worth. Everything we do starts there.
Principles
We decide fit before we sell anything.
Every engagement starts with a candid determination of whether a private opinion is the right instrument for your site at all. Sometimes it isn't, and we'll tell you.
We build on the record you already have.
Your project already generated a substantial body of technical work. We respect that investment rather than duplicating it.
We state our limits.
Every opinion says exactly what it covers and what it doesn't. A document that overstates its reach isn't one a lender's counsel can rely on.
We escalate what matters.
If we find a serious problem, the people relying on our work hear about it. That is what makes the opinion worth having.
How engagements are structured
Every engagement runs under a master services agreement and a project-specific statement of work that defines scope, exclusions, reliance, and fees before work begins.
Tell us about the project.
Send the project, the county, and your target completion date. We'll tell you whether we're the right fit.
