What is CASECLARITY

CASECLARITY provides law firms training, consulting, technology and services to support consumer law litigation in foreclosure defense debt collection actions.  We empower our attorney clients to approach their consumer law cases in an entirely new way by combining systems, best practices and specific methodologies that bring clarity of situation and clarity of purpose to each legal matter.  The goal is strengthen each case and provide the attorney with better legal arguments, a predictable litigation path and greater confidence in the outcome.  How?

THE CASE.  Our approach to bringing clarity to consumer law cases begins with the premise that there are two main sides to the litigation equation each being critical to moving the case toward desired outcomes.  The first is the CASE side, which involves parsing out the foundational facts of the case.  In foreclosure and debt collection defense this means finding and understanding events occurring in the consumer’s transaction before, during and after loan closing.  Where the traditional view has been to look at just a few places for possible defenses, CASECLARITY significantly expands this range by helping counsel learn about the 10 Stages of Foreclosure Distress.  We teach law firms how to find information relevant to foreclosure and debt collection defense; where and how to obtain key documents and other evidence; how to interpret this content; and, ultimately how resulting discovery fits into legal arguments supporting specific defenses or claims.  The fact-finding result flowing from the CASECLARITY model, alone, can have a huge impact on case outcomes.

THE CLARITY.  The CLARITY side of the model empowers counsel with methods and tools to chart the best path for the case that is in line with the client’s objectives.  CASECLARITY has developed and uses a structured method for counsel to analyze facts and legal issues, determine strategy and ultimately find the best advice for the client.  To facilitate this, CASECLARITY utilizes two main methodologies – Defense Matrixing and Procedural Mapping.  These methods and related tools empower counsel to better frame out the client’s legal defenses and to put the case on an appropriate pre-defined litigation track that is supported by a complement of documents and templates required for each stage of the case.  Only CASECLARITY delivers this complete range of resources with a particular focus on procedure, rules, timeframes and other requirements.  This range encompasses the entire lifecycle of the case, from the notice of appearance to exhaustion of any and all appeals.

  • Five (5) Audit Types;

HIGHEST & BEST USE.  Our services and methods empower law firms to deliver high value to their clients where attorneys have greater freedom to focus on determining the legal issues, deciding strategy, advocating for the client and providing legal advice.  While the attorney must be fluent within every dimension of issues related to legal representation of their debt collection and foreclosure defense clients, counsel does not need to be an expert on everything.  By separating the fact-finding heavy lifting (CASE side) from the consideration of the legal implications and strategy (CLARITY side), counsel can apply the highest and best use of his/her time and energy in every case.  We teach how to do this profitably.  Contact us today.
