REPRESENTED-PARTY INTERVIEW
Attorney-Represented Interview
Where a claimant is represented, the interview is arranged through their counsel and conducted on counsel's documented terms. This converts a population our standards otherwise prohibit contacting into work that can be done properly, with the authority for it on the file.

SERVICE FAQ
Procurement and operating questions.
Can MODLAN call a represented claimant directly to schedule?
Not as a default. Coordination proceeds through counsel or another documented authorized path.
Can counsel limit the topics?
Yes. The agreed interview terms become part of the assignment record.
Can the interview be unrecorded?
Yes, if that is the documented term of the engagement.
Does MODLAN conduct an examination under oath?
No. EUO work remains counsel-led; MODLAN can support logistics and evidence.
