We review the complaint, the goods or services at issue, and the paper trail. We identify the consumer-protection theories, assess the strength of the claim or defence, and lay out the realistic routes.

You select; we co-engage. The fee structure is disclosed up front. Fixed-fee phases or hourly with stop-loss caps. Alongside GTC's own oversight fee. 3 ### Co-counsel oversight GTC stays the relationship lead and matter-management point. We coordinate with the specialist firm, track the budget against the agreed caps, keep communication clean, and follow through on any order, refund, or compensation the forum directs. What it costs ## What this costs. Consumer Rights Litigation starts from $1,500.

We model the demand-letter and mediation routes before recommending a contested complaint, so you spend on litigation only when it is the right call. ### The right specialist, not a generalist Consumer-forum and court procedure is local and specific. We select counsel with active practice in your jurisdiction's consumer forums rather than treating every dispute as the same court filing. ### One relationship lead throughout You deal with GTC, not a rotating cast of strangers. We translate the specialist's advice into plain options, manage the engagement, and keep the matter moving. ### Budget disclosed up front Specialist fees and GTC's oversight fee are both quoted before any work begins. Fixed-fee phases or hourly with caps. No 6-minute-increment surprises mid-matter. Your Customer Success Team ## A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish. Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay. ### Your Account Manager Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off. ### Your Senior Account Manager Senior oversight on strategy and escalations, stepping in as your needs grow, so every important detail stays on track.
