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

Scott 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 Scott for a insurance case?

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

• Does Scott offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

  Scott evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Scott'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 Scott?

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

• Is Scott accepting new insurance clients right now?

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