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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Reed for a insurance case?

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

• Does Reed offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do insurance cases in Minnesota typically take?

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

• Can Reed take my case if I'm outside New Brighton?

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

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

• Is Reed accepting new insurance clients right now?

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