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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Kent for a insurance case?

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

• Does Kent offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do insurance cases in Georgia typically take?

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

• Can Kent take my case if I'm outside Athens?

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

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

• Is Kent accepting new insurance clients right now?

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