Arden Claims Service

Independent claims administration by professionals who understand class and collective actions.

Having mediated hundreds of class and collective actions, Scheinman has been urged by plaintiff-side and defendant-side attorneys to create a dependable, full-service independent claims administration business.

For years, Marty envisioned the right team and infrastructure to deliver the type of service plaintiffs, defendants, class members, and their attorneys and accountants deserve.

With that leadership and personnel now in place, Marty and his colleagues have launched Arden Claims Service (“ACS”), a Scheinman enterprise, to provide dependable, competent, neutral claims administration services.

The essence of ACS offers the same determination, professionalism, and dedication SAMS brings to its neutral practice. The assembled team is ready to accomplish this purpose.
