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

• How much does it cost to hire Benjamin for a business case?

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

• Does Benjamin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in Minnesota 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. Benjamin gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Benjamin take my case if I'm outside Luverne?

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

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

• Is Benjamin accepting new business clients right now?

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