• How much does it cost to hire Nash for a government case?

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

• Does Nash offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Washington typically take?

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

• Can Nash take my case if I'm outside Olympia?

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

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

• Is Nash accepting new government clients right now?

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