• How much does it cost to hire Gene for a legal case?

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

• Does Gene offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in Minnesota typically take?

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

• Can Gene take my case if I'm outside Chanhassen?

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

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

• Is Gene accepting new legal clients right now?

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