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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Caelen for a construction case?

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

• Does Caelen offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do construction cases in Washington typically take?

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

• Can Caelen take my case if I'm outside Seattle?

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

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

• Is Caelen accepting new construction clients right now?

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