• How much does it cost to hire Christoph for a general case?

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

• Does Christoph offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in New Jersey typically take?

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

• Can Christoph take my case if I'm outside Freehold?

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

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

• Is Christoph accepting new general clients right now?

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