Every strong case deserves a second look. Just as a pilot relies on a pre-flight checklist before takeoff, law firms need more than just an initial intake before investing in a claim. SMART Reviews provides independent case validation, fraud detection, and litigation support that helps you identify viable cases, protect valuable resources, and preserve the integrity of your docket.
Raising the Bar
for Mass Torts
Our Story
SMART Reviews began with a simple observation: the mass tort system was asking law firms to do the impossible. Kate Hoffmann had worked as a healthcare professional, at a large mass tort defense firm, and later at a plaintiff firm. She saw firsthand that even exceptional firms struggled to give every claimant the time and attention required to properly validate a case while managing large, fast-moving dockets.
That challenge has only intensified. Since 2022, fraudulent claim volume has increased 40-fold, and SMART Reviews has seen Secondary QC reveal dockets where as many as 90% of leads were ultimately non-viable. That’s not just an operational problem: it wastes marketing dollars, burdens legal teams, and risks overshadowing legitimate claims.
Kate founded SMART Reviews to change that. By providing independent case validation, fraud detection, and comprehensive litigation support and work-ups, Kate and team help law firms identify viable claims before they consume valuable resources. The goal is simple: protect firms and help ensure real victims receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
What We Do
Secondary QC
The initial intake tells part of the story. Secondary QC tells you whether the story holds up. SMART Reviews independently verifies claimant information, confirms litigation criteria, detects fraud, evaluates consistency, and collects supporting documentation before a case advances. We help you invest in verified claims and protect your docket from avoidable expenses.
Docket Review
When fraud slips through the front door, it becomes far more expensive to remove later. Through our docket review, we evaluate existing inventories through fraud detection, medical validation, and claimant verification to identify non-viable claims. The result is a cleaner docket that allows your attorneys to focus on cases with genuine litigation potential.
End-To-End Litigation Support
Kate and team provide comprehensive support throughout the case lifecycle, including plaintiff fact sheets, long and short forms, medical record retrieval, nurse advocacy, medical and billing chronologies, demand packages, reporting metrics, and post-settlement support. We become an extension of your team, helping cases progress efficiently from start to finish.
