• How much does it cost to hire Donovan for a m&a case?

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

• Does Donovan offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do m&a cases in Georgia typically take?

  Simple m&a 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. Donovan gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Donovan take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

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

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

• Is Donovan accepting new m&a clients right now?

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