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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Luke for a formation case?

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

• Does Luke offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do formation cases in Hawaii typically take?

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

• Can Luke take my case if I'm outside Kailua?

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

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

• Is Luke accepting new formation clients right now?

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