• How much does it cost to hire Brendan for a appellate case?

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

• Does Brendan offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in Washington typically take?

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

• Can Brendan take my case if I'm outside Lummi Island?

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

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

• Is Brendan accepting new appellate clients right now?

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