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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Michael for a construction case?

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

• Does Michael offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do construction cases in Connecticut typically take?

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

• Can Michael take my case if I'm outside West Hartford?

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

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

• Is Michael accepting new construction clients right now?

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