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

Lon 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 Lon for a insurance case?

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

• Does Lon offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do insurance cases in Virginia 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. Lon gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Lon take my case if I'm outside Mclean?

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

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

• Is Lon accepting new insurance clients right now?

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