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

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

• Does Pratt offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in Massachusetts 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. Pratt gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Pratt take my case if I'm outside Boston?

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

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

• Is Pratt accepting new business clients right now?

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