Label the measure and source
A claim amount, coverage estimate, insurer payment and proposed sentencing loss may answer different questions. Record the source, date and purpose of each figure. Counsel determines the applicable legal calculation. Do not assume one amount controls every financial issue.
Preserve the transaction history
Keep payment notices, account records, adjustments and recovery documents. Identify the recipient and date for each event. A proposal to repay is different from a completed payment. Qualified financial review may be needed to reconcile records across insurers, accounts or periods.
Track assumptions and revisions
Retain calculation versions and the documented reason for changes. Identify disputed items and missing sources. A preparation summary should make the disagreement reviewable rather than simply select a favorable total or omit a difficult entry.
Connect the financial review to deadlines
Ask counsel which factual issues require records before the interview or hearing. Assign responsibility for obtaining sources and expert review. SAG can organize the index and preparation calendar without providing a sentencing-loss or valuation opinion.

Is the amount claimed automatically the sentencing loss?
Do not assume that. Counsel must assess the governing rules, actual facts and supporting calculations.
Sources and professional scope
Official background: FBI: Investigating Insurance Fraud and NAIC: Insurance Fraud. Sources checked November 6, 2026. These sources provide general context; counsel evaluates the actual jurisdiction, charge and applicable law. No historical statistics are used to predict an individual outcome.
A defined SAG assignment can include a personal chronology, indexed records, factual questions and preparation calendar. Counsel controls legal advice, responses and submissions. SAG is not a law firm, insurance adjuster, valuation provider or forensic accounting service. An engagement does not automatically establish privilege.
Based in New Jersey, SAG serves clients nationwide, with travel arranged for cases. No sentence, placement, release date or financial result is guaranteed.
For counsel: Discuss Support for Your Client. Begin with the role, stage and deadline; do not send account credentials or privileged advice through the inquiry form.
