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

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

• Can Brig take my case if I'm outside Middletown?

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

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

• Is Brig accepting new appellate clients right now?

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