• How much does it cost to hire Shawee for a government case?

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

• Does Shawee offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Shawee take my case if I'm outside Daytona Beach?

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

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

• Is Shawee accepting new government clients right now?

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