• How much does it cost to hire Alaric for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Alaric offer a free consultation?

• Can Alaric take my case if I'm outside Birmingham?

  Alaric is licensed in Alabama. Matters governed by Alabama law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Alaric 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 Alaric?

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