• How much does it cost to hire Francois for a agriculture case?

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

• Does Francois offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do agriculture cases in Washington typically take?

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

• Can Francois take my case if I'm outside Kennewick?

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

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

• Is Francois accepting new agriculture clients right now?

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