Trudy's primary office is at 1101 King Street, Christiansted, St. Croix, VI, 00820-4933. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

Trudy 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 Trudy for a appellate case?

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

• Does Trudy offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Trudy take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Trudy evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Trudy's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Trudy?

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

• Is Trudy accepting new appellate clients right now?

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