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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Steve for a environmental case?

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

• Does Steve offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do environmental cases in Mississippi typically take?

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

• Can Steve take my case if I'm outside Jackson?

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

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

• Is Steve accepting new environmental clients right now?

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