• How much does it cost to hire Kevin for a appellate case?

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

• Does Kevin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in North Carolina typically take?

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

• Can Kevin take my case if I'm outside Charlotte?

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

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

• Is Kevin accepting new appellate clients right now?

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