• How much does it cost to hire Mathieu for a litigation case?

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

• Does Mathieu offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Mathieu take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Mathieu evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Mathieu's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Mathieu?

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

• Is Mathieu accepting new litigation clients right now?

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