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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Brook for a energy case?

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

• Does Brook offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do energy cases in Massachusetts typically take?

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

• Can Brook take my case if I'm outside Boston?

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

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

• Is Brook accepting new energy clients right now?

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