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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jamie for a aviation case?

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

• Does Jamie offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do aviation cases in Illinois typically take?

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

• Can Jamie take my case if I'm outside Chicago?

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

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

• Is Jamie accepting new aviation clients right now?

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