• How much does it cost to hire Shane for a general case?

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

• Does Shane offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Pennsylvania typically take?

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

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

  Shane 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 — Shane 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 Shane?

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

• Is Shane accepting new general clients right now?

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