How much does it cost to hire A.J. for a business case?

Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. A.J. walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

Does A.J. offer a free consultation?

A.J. charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain A.J.'s office. Some business attorneys offer free consults — check A.J.'s current terms during booking.

How long do business cases in Florida typically take?

Simple business matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. A.J. gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

What should I bring to my first meeting with A.J.?

Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. A.J. will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
