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

Brennan discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in litigation practice — ask which fits.

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

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

• Does Brennan offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Brennan take my case if I'm outside Burlington?

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

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

• Is Brennan accepting new litigation clients right now?

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