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

Berta 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 Berta for a appellate case?

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

• Does Berta offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Berta take my case if I'm outside Miami?

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

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

• Is Berta accepting new appellate clients right now?

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