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

Erica 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 Erica for a appellate case?

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

• Does Erica offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Erica take my case if I'm outside Nashville?

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

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

• Is Erica accepting new appellate clients right now?

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