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

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

• Does Melvyn offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Melvyn take my case if I'm outside Fort Lauderdale?

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

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

• Is Melvyn accepting new litigation clients right now?

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