Robin's primary office is at 310 Grant St, Suite 1500, Pittsburgh, PA, 15219. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Robin for a appellate case?

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

• Does Robin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in Pennsylvania typically take?

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

• Can Robin take my case if I'm outside Pittsburgh?

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

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

• Is Robin accepting new appellate clients right now?

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