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

Berly 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 Berly for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Berly offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in North Dakota 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. Berly gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Berly take my case if I'm outside Fargo?

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

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

• Is Berly accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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