• How much does it cost to hire Gerhardt for a appellate case?

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

• Does Gerhardt offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Gerhardt take my case if I'm outside Lake Success?

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

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

• Is Gerhardt accepting new appellate clients right now?
