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

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

• Does Brittney offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Brittney take my case if I'm outside Northfield?

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

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

• Is Brittney accepting new appellate clients right now?

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