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

Windy 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 Windy for a appellate case?

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

• Does Windy offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Windy take my case if I'm outside Mobile?

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

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

• Is Windy accepting new appellate clients right now?

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