• How much does it cost to hire Jay for a general case?

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

• Does Jay offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Michigan typically take?

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

• Can Jay take my case if I'm outside Iron Mountain?

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

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

• Is Jay accepting new general clients right now?

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