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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Henry for a maritime case?

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

• Does Henry offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

  Henry evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Henry'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 Henry?

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

• Is Henry accepting new maritime clients right now?

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