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

• How much does it cost to hire Geoffrey for a securities case?

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

• Does Geoffrey offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do securities cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Geoffrey take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Geoffrey evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Geoffrey's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Geoffrey?

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

• Is Geoffrey accepting new securities clients right now?

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