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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Brian for a adoption case?

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

• Does Brian offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adoption cases in Virginia typically take?

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

• Can Brian take my case if I'm outside Newport News?

  Brian 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 — Brian 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 Brian?

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

• Is Brian accepting new adoption clients right now?

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