While we are not affiliated with AzAJ or any such organization, we independently promote membership in these organizations and we will confirm your membership as part of our approval process.

Initial Obligation: You must make a $400 payment - OR - contribute eight "acceptable documents."
|
|
Payments: Payments must be made online via PayPal to geoff.trachtenberg@gmail.com, or Venmo to @Geoff-Trachtenberg, or Zelle to geoff.trachtenberg@gmail.com.
Documents: Generally speaking, an "acceptable document" is something other plaintiffs' attorneys could find useful -- so depositions of "professional expert witnesses" are preferred since they have a long shelf-life. In fact, a deposition of any "expert witness" is de facto acceptable (if it is not already a part of the database, they are still alive and not retired); however, you may contribute any documents for consideration.
Although we are happy to receive depositions of the usual "medical experts," any other expert depositions or discovery documents (such as income records, affidavits, etc., from professional expert witnesses) are also welcome.
Indeed, sometimes documents are voluminous or are so valuable that they will warrant special consideration (such as a large collection of 1099's or DME reports). Submission of such documents will be duly noted and will result in an appropriate credit.
Note that submission of pleadings is also acceptable, but such documents take longer to review and are less likely to be accepted since we probably already have them and because they "go stale" fairly rapidly.
Please do not take offense if documents are not accepted or if only some are accepted. Typically, we will credit you for those documents that are accepted and give you the option to submit additional documents or make an adjusted payment.
Submit documents for review via email to geoff.trachtenberg@gmail.com as an attachment.
