Consultation formats and pricing

Jason charges for the initial consult. That fee is credited toward representation if you retain Jason's office.

What to bring to your first meeting

Bring any documents you already have — police reports, medical records, filed pleadings, correspondence from an insurer, a copy of the contract at issue. If you're not sure, err on the side of bringing everything; Jason will tell you what matters and what doesn't.

Questions to ask a business attorney in your state

Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions about Jason Sutherland

  • How much does it cost to hire Jason for a business case?

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

  • Does Jason offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • Is Jason accepting new business clients right now?

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