Authorization Packet Summary

Manually reviewing authorization packets means checking each form for signatures, legibility, and completeness—a tedious process prone to oversight. Missing or incomplete authorizations delay investigations and create compliance risks. Tracking authorization status across multiple cases becomes an administrative burden that pulls staff away from higher-value work.

Criminal Defense70% relevant

Criminal defense cases often require medical record releases for injury documentation, mental health evaluations, or substance abuse treatment records, plus employment records for character evidence and retainer agreement verification.
