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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Frédéric for a tax case?

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

• Does Frédéric offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do tax cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Frédéric take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Frédéric evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Frédéric's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Frédéric?

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

• Is Frédéric accepting new tax clients right now?

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