Gideon's primary office is at Phoenix, AZ. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

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

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

• Does Gideon offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Gideon take my case if I'm outside Phoenix?

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

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

• Is Gideon accepting new litigation clients right now?

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