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

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

• Does Lukas offer a free consultation?

• How long do government cases in North Dakota 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. Lukas gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Lukas take my case if I'm outside West Fargo?

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

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

• Is Lukas accepting new government clients right now?

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