Addison discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in government practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Addison for a government case?

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

• Does Addison offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Tennessee typically take?

  Simple government 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. Addison gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Addison take my case if I'm outside Brentwood?

  Addison is licensed in Tennessee. Matters governed by Tennessee law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Addison will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Addison?

  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. Addison will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Addison accepting new government clients right now?

  Addison's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
