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

• How much does it cost to hire Eason for a maritime case?

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

• Does Eason offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do maritime cases in Alabama typically take?

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

• Can Eason take my case if I'm outside Birmingham?

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

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

• Is Eason accepting new maritime clients right now?

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