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

• How much does it cost to hire Charlie for a government case?

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

• Does Charlie offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Alabama typically take?

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

• Can Charlie take my case if I'm outside Homewood?

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

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

• Is Charlie accepting new government clients right now?

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