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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Rod for a personal injury case?

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

• Does Rod offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do personal injury cases in Oregon typically take?

  Simple personal injury 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. Rod gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Rod take my case if I'm outside Portland?

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

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

• Is Rod accepting new personal injury clients right now?

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