• How much does it cost to hire Lebawit for a energy case?

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

• Does Lebawit offer a free consultation?

• Can Lebawit take my case if I'm outside Silver Spring?

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

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

• Is Lebawit accepting new energy clients right now?
