If you recover nothing, the fee comes back.

A contingency fee has a guarantee built in: no recovery, no fee. A flat fee moves that risk onto you. This puts it back, and unlike a contingency it takes no share of what you do recover.

What we guarantee

If the settlement pays you nothing, you pay us nothing. Not only when we get something wrong — whatever the reason. If the administrator denies the claim, if the fund is exhausted before it reaches you, if a defendant becomes insolvent, if the settlement collapses on appeal: the fee comes back in full.

We separately guarantee the things we control, and each is a fact in the record rather than an argument. The claim is filed before the bar date with a confirmation number logged. The claimed total equals the exhibit sum. No deficiency goes uncured past its window.

What we do not guarantee

We do not guarantee a payout amount. Settlement funds are distributed pro rata, so what a valid claim is finally worth depends on how many others file — a number nobody knows until claiming closes. We do not guarantee timing either: settlements pay out over years, and in one well-known case, over a decade.

Any firm that guarantees you a recovery figure before the claims period closes is describing something it cannot know.

When the refund is owed

When your claim reaches a final zero: the distribution for that settlement completes and you are not in it, or the claim is denied and the denial stands once its cure window has closed. Neither is a judgement call — money either arrived or it did not.

Distributions run for years, so this commitment outlives the engagement. It does not expire when the invoice is paid, and it is not limited to the year you filed in.

The eligibility watch is a separate subscription and is not covered — it is a monitoring service, not a filing outcome.
