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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Colby for a aviation case?

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

• Does Colby offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do aviation cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Colby take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Colby evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Colby's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Colby?

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

• Is Colby accepting new aviation clients right now?

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