How It Works

From request to retained expert, in four steps.

No directories. No guesswork. Tell us what you need, and a curated shortlist of credentialed, conflict-checked experts is ready in 48 to 72 hours — across legal, medical, financial, real estate, insurance, technology, family services, and academic evaluations.

The Process

A four-step path to the right expert.

Most engagements move from initial request to active mentorship or retention within five business days.

01
Step OneUnder 5 minutes

Submit Your Request

Tell us what you need: case type or evaluation purpose, jurisdiction, timeline, expert criteria, and any conflict parties. The intake form takes under five minutes — or schedule a free 30-minute consultation if you prefer to talk it through.

  • Service category, subject matter, and case posture
  • Deadline, location, and any jurisdiction-specific requirements
  • Conflict parties for clearance check
02
Step Two24 to 48 hours

We Match and Vet

Our team identifies field-matched candidates from our network of 200+ specialists across eight verticals. Every candidate is screened for credentials, prior testimony or evaluation history, methodology, and conflicts before they reach your shortlist.

  • Field-specific match — not a directory pull
  • Conflict clearance against parties you've named
  • Daubert and Frye standards considered for litigation matters

Step Three48 to 72 hours total

Review Your Shortlist

You receive a curated shortlist — typically two to four candidates — with full profiles, credentials, fee schedules, and prior testimony or evaluation history. Screening calls with shortlisted candidates can be arranged so you can assess fit before committing.

  • CVs, credentials, and engagement-relevant history
  • Transparent fee schedules — no hidden costs
  • Optional 15-minute screening calls with candidates

Step FourEngagement begins

Retain & Engage

Select your expert and we coordinate everything from there — engagement letter, scope, timeline, deliverables, and check-ins. Our team stays in the loop through completion to keep deadlines on track and address any issues directly.

  • Engagement letter and scope alignment
  • Milestone tracking with periodic check-ins
  • Direct access to the engagement coordinator
What You Get

Three things every match delivers.

Verified Credentials, Upfront

Every shortlisted expert arrives with verified academic credentials, professional licensure, institutional affiliation, and relevant practice or testimony history disclosed before any commitment.

Conflict Clearance

Every candidate is cleared against the parties and matters you've named — counterparties, related entities, opposing counsel — before they appear on your shortlist. No surprises post-introduction.

Speed Without Shortcuts

Standard turnaround is 48 to 72 hours; rush matching is available within 24 hours for urgent deadlines. Speed never compromises vetting — every candidate goes through the same screening.

Why Not a Directory

The real difference between a search result and a managed match.

Directories return a list. We return a curated shortlist — vetted, conflict-cleared, and matched to your specific case or evaluation purpose.

Typical Directory Search
  • Hundreds of unfiltered listings to sift through
  • No conflict checking — you find out at deposition
  • Self-reported credentials, no verification
  • Hidden or undisclosed fee structures
  • You manage the engagement alone
XpertsPortal
  • Curated shortlist of 2 to 4 matched candidates
  • Conflicts cleared against named parties before introduction
  • Credentials and testimony history independently verified
  • Transparent fee schedules shared upfront
  • Engagement coordinator stays involved through delivery
