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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Fernando for a litigation case?

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

• Does Fernando offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in Texas typically take?

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

• Can Fernando take my case if I'm outside Austin?

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

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

• Is Fernando accepting new litigation clients right now?

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