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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Chandler for a business case?

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

• Does Chandler offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

  Chandler 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 — Chandler 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 Chandler?

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

• Is Chandler accepting new business clients right now?

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