Need help with court awarded fees? TECUM can help.  
 
TECUM specializes in resolving fee disputes for individuals, businesses, corporations and law firms. The frequency of Courts awarding legal fees to winning litigants is rapidly increasing, a trend that is driving attorneys' fees to even higher levels of scrutiny and intensifying arguments over how much is reasonable and necessary. Recently the S. C. State Supreme Court found $8.7 million awarded in attorney fees to be “unreasonable” and recommended $455,000.00 paid. Over billing occurs more often than clients or law firms realize and it is the client's right to question their firm's bill(s) for reasonable & necessary charges. Our pricing is designed to control costs, not add to them. TECUM bills by the hour, however, our price will not exceed 2% of the total legal bill(s) reviewed. The client knows up front the maximum cost of our service(s). If we find a firm is billing reasonably we advise the client immediately to save cost. Our legal audits (file reviews) are billed at our hourly rates and we provide a minimum and maximum cost before the review.  
 
As experts TECUM has helped its clients resolve thousands of legal fee disputes by delivering solutions that are fair for both sides. Since 1990, TECUM's principals have developed unparalleled legal bill and file review methods that produce comprehensive analysis and realistic results. TECUM does not use software programs. Such programs have proven to not work, cause more problems and have worn out both sides of the legal bill battle. TECUM's principals, Dennis McKevitt and Jerry Bedell, combined have audited over four hundred law firms, reviewed over 1.5 billion dollars in legal bills, have over 70 years of combined, hands on litigation management experience in multiple types of lawsuits and have achieved over $160 million in legal fee reductions.
