Litigation Support when the numbers are in dispute.
Financial and tax analysis for attorneys and their clients, plus support at the negotiating table, all explained in plain English.
When a case turns on money, the records are rarely tidy. TreeStar helps attorneys and their clients make sense of them. We rebuild incomplete books, trace transactions across accounts, analyze income and cash flow, and show how each settlement option would play out at tax time. Then we help you negotiate from those numbers, alongside your attorney. The work is organized so it can be followed, documented so it can be relied on, and explained so everyone at the table can understand it. Business disputes, partner and shareholder separations, divorces, and estate matters are where our bookkeeping and tax background is most useful.
How we help
Incomplete or missing books rebuilt from bank statements, receipts, and third-party records.
Funds followed across accounts and entities, with every step documented.
A clear picture of what a business or person actually earns and spends.
How each settlement option, division of assets, or ruling is likely to be taxed, before anything is signed.
Settlement options modeled side by side, and a TreeStar advisor alongside you and your attorney in negotiations and mediation.
Schedules and summaries built so attorneys and other experts can follow every number.
Findings walked through with counsel and clients until they are understood.
Every engagement starts with a written scope, so you know exactly what we will handle for you before any work begins.

Common questions
Do you work directly with attorneys?
Yes. Most litigation support engagements are arranged through the client's attorney, and we coordinate our work with counsel from the start.
What kinds of cases do you support?
Most often business disputes, partner and shareholder separations, divorces, and estate matters where the outcome depends on financial or tax records.
Do you testify as an expert witness?
No. TreeStar provides consulting and negotiation support: the analysis, schedules, and settlement numbers behind your case. We are not attorneys and do not give legal advice. If your matter needs a testifying expert, we can work alongside the expert your attorney retains.
How do you keep the records secure?
Documents are exchanged through the TaxDome client portal, never by email attachment or through this website.
