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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Josiah for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Josiah offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in Pennsylvania typically take?

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

• Can Josiah take my case if I'm outside Philadelphia?

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

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

• Is Josiah accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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