Common questions
Everything you need to know about recovering your money
How much does this cost?
Zero upfront costs. We only get paid when you do. Our fee is deducted directly from your recovery by the state. If we don't recover anything, you owe us nothing.
Unlike other firms, we also pay for any missing documents, and our mobile notary, so there are no out-of-pocket expenses at all.
How long does the process take?
Most claims are resolved in 8–12 weeks from the time we file with the state. This includes:
- Initial paperwork and notarization (1–2 weeks)
- State processing time (6–10 weeks)
- Check mailed directly to you
We handle all communication with the State Controller and keep you updated at every milestone.
Can I file the claim myself instead of using your service?
Yes, you can file directly with California's State Controller at claimit.ca.gov. It's completely free.
However, most people find it overwhelming. Wrong forms, missing notarizations, or incomplete documentation often lead to delays or outright rejections. Our 98% success rate comes from filing correctly the first time.
We also find additional claims most people miss. Our advanced data matching often uncovers multiple properties you didn't know existed.
How do I know this is legitimate and not a scam?
Great question. Here's how you can verify we're legitimate:
- Licensed & bonded in California – You can verify our license with the state
- BBB A+ rating – Check our accreditation
- 5.0 stars on Google – Read real client reviews
- The state sends you the check – We never touch your money
We never ask for upfront payment, banking information, or Social Security numbers over email. All sensitive documents are handled through secure channels only.
What happens if the state rejects my claim?
Rejections are rare with our service. 98% of our claims are approved because we file correctly from the start.
If a claim is rejected for missing documentation, we handle the appeals process at no additional cost. We'll track down any missing records and resubmit until it's resolved.
You only pay our fee if you ultimately receive payment from the state.
