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

Simmons discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in general practice — ask which fits.

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

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

• Does Simmons offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Simmons take my case if I'm outside Macon?

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

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

• Is Simmons accepting new general clients right now?

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