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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Minerva for a business case?

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

• Does Minerva offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

  Minerva evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Minerva'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 Minerva?

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

• Is Minerva accepting new business clients right now?

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