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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Derwin for a contracts case?

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

• Does Derwin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do contracts cases in New Jersey typically take?

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

• Can Derwin take my case if I'm outside Princeton?

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

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

• Is Derwin accepting new contracts clients right now?

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