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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Walter for a aviation case?

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

• Does Walter offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do aviation cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Walter take my case if I'm outside San Francisco?

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

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

• Is Walter accepting new aviation clients right now?

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