The record, made whole
- Cover + overview— your record at a glance: the cases you filed in 2025 and how they resolved, charge mix, jurisdiction footprint.
- Name-variant merge— court clerks record the same attorney under many spellings; we merge them so your record is complete, and disclose exactly which renderings were combined.
- Case-number appendix— every case behind every figure, as a companion CSV. Spot-check any number against Virginia's public court system yourself.
- Methodology footeron every figure — the report is defensible if a client asks where the numbers come from.
The intelligence
- Outcome metrics— reduction rate, dismissal rate, conviction rate, with statewide peer baselines for context.
- Peer percentile on each charge category, ranked against the 17,560 active VA defense attorneys with comparable caseload.
- Venue map— modal plea floors in every jurisdiction where you appeared, with your outcomes plotted against them.
- Officer + prosecutor patterns— dismissal rates and charge-amendment patterns for the officers and CA offices in your caseload.
- VCSC sentencing benchmarks for the felony cases you handled, with circuit-level outlier callouts.
- Sentencing outcomes— how often convicted clients served no active time, by court tier, with statewide baselines.
The output you can use
- Marketing-cleared stats— two or three figures framed for Virginia RPC 7.1, ready for your website pending your own bar guidance.
- Strategic reads— the places where the record speaks clearly enough to be worth putting in front of you. What to do with them is entirely your call.

Why $499
The same data layer behind four published research reports — sliced to your individual practice. $499 is the founding rate — the standard edition will be priced substantially higher, and founding customers keep their rate at renewal. It draws on the index we've already built, then every review is assembled and verified by hand before it ships. We want this in every Virginia defender's hands.
The guarantee
If your review doesn't show you something about your own practice that you didn't already know, reply and we refund it — no questions. Every figure is re-derived from public court records the day your review is built, so we can afford to make that promise.
Questions attorneys ask
Is my review made public?
No. It is delivered privately to you as a PDF. Nothing new is published about you — the review is built from records that are already public, assembled for your eyes.
What if a number looks wrong?
Every figure traces to named public case numbers, and the appendix lets your office spot-check any of them. If something reads differently than your files, tell us which number — we re-derive it and correct the review.
Can I use the stats in my marketing?
The review includes two or three stats specifically framed for Virginia RPC 7.1 — factual, dated, sourced, with past-results disclaimers where required. Final wording is between you and your own bar guidance.
What if my record is thin?
If the public record can't support a meaningful review of your practice, we tell you and refund the order. We would rather decline than deliver something hollow.
Who builds it?
Every review is assembled from the index and verified by hand before it ships — the same verification standard behind the site's published research.
