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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Eric for a construction case?

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

• Does Eric offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do construction cases in this state typically take?

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

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

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

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

• Is Eric accepting new construction clients right now?

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