• How much does it cost to hire Phebe for a general case?

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

• Does Phebe offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Missouri typically take?

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

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

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

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

• Is Phebe accepting new general clients right now?

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