• How much does it cost to hire Malcolm for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Malcolm offer a free consultation?

• How long do bankruptcy cases in District of Columbia typically take?

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

• Can Malcolm take my case if I'm outside Washington?

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

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

• Is Malcolm accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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