Roger's primary office is at Ste. 1500, One Brunswick Sq., Saint John, NB, E2L 4H8. 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 Roger usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Roger 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 Roger for a appellate case?

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

• Does Roger offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in this state 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. Roger gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Roger take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Roger evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Roger's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Roger?

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

• Is Roger accepting new appellate clients right now?

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