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

Shanon 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 Shanon for a appellate case?

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

• Does Shanon offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Shanon take my case if I'm outside Los Angeles?

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

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

• Is Shanon accepting new appellate clients right now?

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