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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Fred for a general case?

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

• Does Fred offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Utah typically take?

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

• Can Fred take my case if I'm outside Provo?

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

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

• Is Fred accepting new general clients right now?

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