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

Colin 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 Colin for a government case?

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

• Does Colin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in this state 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. Colin gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Colin evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Colin'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 Colin?

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

• Is Colin accepting new government clients right now?

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