• How much does it cost to hire Alec for a entertainment case?

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

• Can Alec take my case if I'm outside Scotts Valley?

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