Pat's primary office is at 301 N. Main Street, 2nd Floor, Ann Arbor, MI, 48104. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Pat for a business case?

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

• Does Pat offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in Michigan typically take?

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

• Can Pat take my case if I'm outside Ann Arbor?

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

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

• Is Pat accepting new business clients right now?

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