Brooklyn's primary office is at 250 N Orange Ave Ste 1114, Orlando, FL, 32801-1845. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Brooklyn for a insurance case?

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

• Does Brooklyn offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do insurance cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Brooklyn take my case if I'm outside Orlando?

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

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

• Is Brooklyn accepting new insurance clients right now?

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