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

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

• Does Bryant offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Bryant take my case if I'm outside Charleston?

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

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

• Is Bryant accepting new appellate clients right now?

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