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

• How much does it cost to hire Victor for a insurance case?

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

• Does Victor offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do insurance cases in Missouri typically take?

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

• Can Victor take my case if I'm outside St Louis?

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

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

• Is Victor accepting new insurance clients right now?

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