• How much does it cost to hire Cody for a consumer case?

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

• Does Cody offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in District of Columbia typically take?

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

• Can Cody take my case if I'm outside Washington?

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

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

• Is Cody accepting new consumer clients right now?

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