Identify the governing status
Keep the demand, proposal, agreement or order and its attachments. Record the named parties, dates and amounts. A claimed loss and an entered restitution order should not be described as equivalent.
Preserve supporting schedules
Index the sources behind each figure and identify disputed assumptions. Separate calculations prepared by different participants. Counsel and financial specialists determine the appropriate legal treatment and any need for additional review.
Track actual payments
Keep receipts, dates and recipients. Distinguish recognized credits from requested credits and repayment intentions from completed acts. Do not assume that a payment resolves forfeiture, fines, civil exposure or every other obligation.
Prepare accurate disclosure sources
Organize requested income, assets, liabilities and expenses with supporting records. Identify uncertainty and restrictions. SAG can help make the file reviewable without deciding legal obligations, negotiating payment terms or promising financial savings.

Sources and professional scope
Official starting points: United States Sentencing Commission economic-offense guidelines. Counsel evaluates current authorities, the applicable guideline version and the individual facts. These resources do not decide the outcome of a particular case. Sources checked November 6, 2026.
SAG provides defined personal and professional preparation: a chronology, source index, factual review questions and practical calendar as agreed. Counsel controls legal advice, responses and submissions. SAG is not a law firm, forensic accounting provider or compliance certifier. An engagement does not automatically establish privilege.
Based in New Jersey, SAG serves clients nationwide, with travel arranged for cases. No charging decision, sentence, financial result, placement or release date is guaranteed.
For counsel: Discuss Support for Your Client. Begin with the role, stage and deadline, not privileged advice or credentials, in the inquiry form.
