Elden's primary office is at 12500 Fair Lakes Cir., Ste. 100, Fairfax, VA, 22033. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Elden for a business case?

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

• Does Elden offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in Virginia typically take?

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

• Can Elden take my case if I'm outside Fairfax?

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

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

• Is Elden accepting new business clients right now?

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