How much does it cost to hire J. for a irs case?

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

Does J. offer a free consultation?

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

How long do irs cases in Massachusetts typically take?

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

Can J. take my case if I'm outside Boston?

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

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

Is J. accepting new irs clients right now?

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