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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Forrest for a personal injury case?

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

• Does Forrest offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do personal injury cases in Tennessee typically take?

  Simple personal injury 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. Forrest gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Forrest take my case if I'm outside Chattanooga?

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

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

• Is Forrest accepting new personal injury clients right now?

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