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

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

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

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

• Does Benoît offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Benoît take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Benoît evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Benoît's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

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

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

• Is Benoît accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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