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

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

• Does Britt offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Britt take my case if I'm outside Montgomery?

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

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

• Is Britt accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?
