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

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

• Does Clayborne offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Clayborne take my case if I'm outside Little Rock?

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

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

• Is Clayborne accepting new appellate clients right now?

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