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

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

• Does Osborne offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in South Carolina 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. Osborne gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Osborne take my case if I'm outside Columbia?

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

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

• Is Osborne accepting new appellate clients right now?

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