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

Owen 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 Owen for a appellate case?

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

• Does Owen offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Owen take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Owen evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Owen's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Owen?

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

• Is Owen accepting new appellate clients right now?

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