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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Paul for a commercial re case?

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

• Does Paul offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do commercial re cases in New York typically take?

  Simple commercial re 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. Paul gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Paul take my case if I'm outside New York?

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

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

• Is Paul accepting new commercial re clients right now?

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