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

• Does Nowell offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in Georgia typically take?

• Can Nowell take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

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

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

• Is Nowell accepting new appellate clients right now?

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