Barganier & Associates is your front line interface with state agencies and their contingency fee auditing firm. We have relationships with the states. The firms know us and we know them. We fight for our clients and effectively argue their positions. We legally, morally, and ethically push for fair and reasonable resolutions that protect and promote our clients’ interests.

The strength of our defense is the quality of our analysis. We will know your data better than the states and understand their statutes more thoroughly than they do. When we develop a position, we will have the numbers to prove it and the full force of the law to back it. Those initial scare estimates from the contingency fee state auditors are whittled away by our efforts.
