Attorney FAQ
Do you work for plaintiffs or defendants?
Both. ARPSG is retained for its independent analysis, not for a side.
What area do you cover?
All of Georgia, with travel to neighboring Southeast states available.
How quickly can you inspect a property?
Typically within 5 to 10 business days of engagement; expedited inspections are available for evidence preservation.
Do you review Xactimate or other estimates?
Yes: line-item review of carrier, contractor and public adjuster estimates, including pricing, quantities, O&P and code items.
Will you give a preliminary opinion before a written report?
Yes. Initial findings are given verbally so counsel can decide whether a written report is needed.
Do you provide legal opinions?
No. ARPSG gives opinions on construction, damage, cost and claim-handling practice, not on law or coverage interpretation.
What do you need to start?
A cleared conflict check, signed engagement letter, retainer, and key documents: policy, claim file, photos, estimates and correspondence.
