• How much does it cost to hire Arnold for a litigation case?

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

• Does Arnold offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Arnold take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Arnold evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Arnold's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Arnold?

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

• Is Arnold accepting new litigation clients right now?

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