• How much does it cost to hire Keir for a government case?

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

• Does Keir offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in District of Columbia typically take?

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

• Can Keir take my case if I'm outside Washington?

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

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

• Is Keir accepting new government clients right now?

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