RFE response drafting
A request for evidence lists exactly what the officer is not satisfied about. A response that addresses it point by point, with the evidence indexed to each point, is mechanically better than a narrative that covers the ground in a different order. We draft the point-by-point version.
- Published price
- $200–700 / response
- Turnaround
- 48 hours
- Without us
- $1,500–5,000
Fixed per unit, not hourly. No minimum engagement. Quoted before we start.
What you receive
A point-by-point response to the request, with a first-draft brief and evidence index.
- A response brief structured issue by issue in the order the request raises them
- Each issue answered with the specific evidence that addresses it, cited to the exhibit
- An exhibit set assembled, tabbed and indexed against the request's own numbering
- A cover letter listing the request's issues and where each is answered
- A gap assessment where the evidence available does not fully answer an issue
- The response deadline confirmed and calendared, with the filing checklist
What it costs, and what it replaces
Both figures are published ranges for the same unit of work. Ours is fixed before we start; if our process gets faster, that is our gain and your price does not move.

How the work runs
01
Issue extraction
We extract every discrete issue the request raises, including the ones embedded mid-paragraph that get missed when the request is read as prose rather than as a list.
02
Evidence mapping
Available evidence is mapped against each issue, and anything unaddressed is flagged to you immediately, while there is still time to obtain what is missing.
03
Point-by-point drafting
The brief is drafted in the request's own order, so an officer checking whether each concern was addressed can find each answer where they expect it.
04
Assembly and review
Exhibits are indexed to the request's numbering, a qualified lawyer reviews the draft, and the package arrives with the deadline and filing checklist confirmed.
What we need from you
- The request for evidence itself
- The original filing as submitted, including exhibits
- Any new evidence gathered in response
- The response deadline
What we check before delivery
- Every issue in the request is checked off against a corresponding section in the response
- Exhibit references are verified to point at the document they claim
- Consistency with the original filing is checked, so the response does not contradict what was already submitted
- The response deadline is verified against the notice date and the notice's own stated period
When firms send us this
- Requests arriving with a short response window and a full calendar
- Complex requests raising six or eight separate evidentiary issues
- Cases where the original filing was assembled by someone else
- Practices with enough volume that responses back up behind new filings
Questions about rfe response drafting
Do you decide what evidence to submit?
We map what exists against what is asked and recommend the mapping. What is filed, and the strategic judgment behind it, is the engaging attorney's decision.
What if we cannot fully answer an issue?
We tell you which issue and why, as early as possible. A response that quietly skips an issue is worse than one that addresses it directly with what is available.
How fast can you turn one around?
48 hours standard once we have the request and the original filing. Where the deadline is tighter than that, say so and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
