• How much does it cost to hire Wilmer for a appellate case?

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

• Does Wilmer offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Wilmer take my case if I'm outside Polson?

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

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

• Is Wilmer accepting new appellate clients right now?

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