Question 1

How much does a consultation cost?

Accepted Answer

Initial consultations are complimentary for most matters. We will confirm scope before you meet with an attorney. No surprise fees for the first conversation.

Question 2

Will I speak with an attorney—not only staff?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You will understand who is responsible for your case and how to reach them. Support staff assists with scheduling and documents, but legal strategy is attorney-led.

Question 3

Do you take cases outside Charlotte?

Accepted Answer

We routinely represent clients across Mecklenburg County and surrounding communities, and handle select matters statewide depending on jurisdiction and subject matter.

Question 4

How quickly will someone respond?

Accepted Answer

Urgent criminal and injury intakes are prioritized same-day when possible. For other matters, expect a response within one business day—often sooner.

Question 5

What should I bring to the first meeting?

Accepted Answer

Bring identification, any court paperwork, insurance documents (for injury matters), and a concise timeline of events. If you have photos, medical records, or witness contacts, bring those as well.

Question 6

How are fees structured?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the matter. Personal injury cases are frequently handled on a contingency basis. Criminal and family matters may be flat-fee or hourly. We explain fees in writing before you commit.

Question 7

Does contacting you create an attorney-client relationship?

Accepted Answer

No. A relationship is formed only after we agree in writing to represent you. Until then, do not send confidential information you are unwilling to risk becoming known.
