• How much does it cost to hire Arch for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Arch offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Arch take my case if I'm outside Wheeling?

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

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