• How much does it cost to hire Arden for a legal case?

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

• Does Arden offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in South Carolina typically take?

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

• Can Arden take my case if I'm outside Columbia?

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

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

• Is Arden accepting new legal clients right now?

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