Every day, plaintiff attorneys submit demands without understanding the hidden evaluation systems insurance carriers use. You rely on experience and case law, while claim professionals rely on sophisticated software, internal guidelines, algorithms, and evaluation methods you’ve never seen.
The result? You leave money on the table. You spend money on expenses that don’t add the value you had hoped. Your clients settle for less than they deserve. And you don’t even know it happened.
Here’s what you’re up against:
Insurance carriers train their staff for months. They have playbooks, software, supervisors, and an entire industry backing their evaluation methods. You have your experience and instinct.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Learn How We Help

Expertise In:
“Don’t be a Jerk, Kindness is my Method, Empathy is the Superpower”
After two decades in an industry that often forgets the human element, I bring empathy back into the equation. Insurance carriers train adjusters to see claims as numbers. I help you remember and prove they’re people. Because empathy isn’t weakness, it’s the superpower.

All claim professionals are taught that every claim has some form of fraud. Throughout my career I found this to be grossly exaggerated.
It varies depending upon the carriers risk tolerance level, policy type, claim type in addition to the assigned claim professional and their supervisors experience levels.

I didn’t set out to become an insurance industry insider. I started as a claims intake specialist in 1999, curious about how the system worked and excited to earn $18.60 per hour with full medical, dental, and vision benefits. Twenty-three years later, I’d worked every role from intake claim representative to litigation specialist, learning every evaluation method, software system, and negotiation tactic carriers use by working for and with most casualty insurance carriers.
But something always bothered me: the imbalance. Unlike plaintiffs lawyers, Insurance carriers can have representatives respond to incident scenes, make contact with all parties involved and associated with an incident while perpetuating victim blaming and punishment for pursuit of damage recovery.
That’s why I founded Red Stapler Project. After more than two decades on the inside, I’m now working exclusively for plaintiff attorneys, providing the insider intelligence that levels the playing field.
My approach is simple:
Because understanding how the system works shouldn’t require sacrificing your humanity. Insurance claims are about people, not just numbers. I help you prove that to carriers while negotiating from a position of strength.
Based in La Mesa, California, I work with plaintiff attorneys throughout the United States of America, both in-person and remotely.
Expert witnesses testify about industry standards and practices. I provide strategic consulting to help you position cases before negotiation even begins. Think of me as your behind-the-scenes advantage—I help you understand what carriers see so you can strengthen your case preemptively.
Absolutely. While pre-demand audits provide the most value, I can analyze cases at any stage and provide strategic guidance for ongoing negotiations
Most audits are completed within 5-7 business days from the time I receive complete case files. Rush service is available for time-sensitive situations for an additional charge.
Yes. All case files are transmitted and stored securely using HIPAA-compliant systems. In addition to a Consulting Contract, I sign NDAs and adhere to strict confidentiality protocols.
I specialize in personal injury cases including most forms of auto accidents, pedestrian, bicycle, premises slip/trip and fall, dog bite, and general bodily injury claims. These are the areas where my insurance processing experience is most directly applicable.
While the bulk of my expertise is centered in California insurance regulations and practices, I processed claims occurring Nationwide and conducted investigations for carriers across the Country and in Canada that occurred in San Diego County. Having processed claims nationwide with numerous carriers, I have broad exposure to how these systems operate across different markets. Contact me to discuss your specific situation.

Case audits typically find ways to save the amount of my bill in expenses and make significantly more through general damages. I provide bill estimates for approval prior to beginning any work.
You’ve spent years building your practice and fighting for your clients. Isn’t it time you had the same insider advantages that insurance carriers take for granted?
One case audit from Red Stapler Project could pay for itself many times over in general damages and provide cost saving methods that can be applied going forward. One training session could transform how your entire firm approaches client matter documentation and demand drafting.
The question isn’t whether you can afford this intelligence. It’s whether you can afford to keep negotiating without it.
