Murat's primary office is at 300 High Street, Andover, MA, 01810-1512. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Murat for a appellate case?

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

• Does Murat offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in Massachusetts typically take?

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

• Can Murat take my case if I'm outside Andover?

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

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

• Is Murat accepting new appellate clients right now?

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