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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Byron for a child support case?

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

• Does Byron offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do child support cases in Kentucky typically take?

  Simple child support 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. Byron gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Byron take my case if I'm outside Lexington?

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

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

• Is Byron accepting new child support clients right now?

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