Alex's primary office is at 1650 Tysons Boulevard, Suite 400, McLean, VA, 22102. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new copyright attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Alex usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

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

• How much does it cost to hire Alex for a copyright case?

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

• Does Alex offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do copyright cases in Virginia typically take?

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

• Can Alex take my case if I'm outside Mclean?

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

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

• Is Alex accepting new copyright clients right now?

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