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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Hugh for a litigation case?

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

• Does Hugh offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in Hawaii typically take?

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

• Can Hugh take my case if I'm outside Pepeekeo?

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

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

• Is Hugh accepting new litigation clients right now?

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