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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Helene for a energy case?

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

• Does Helene offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do energy cases in New Jersey typically take?

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

• Can Helene take my case if I'm outside Newark?

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

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

• Is Helene accepting new energy clients right now?

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