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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Gassim for a maritime case?

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

• Does Gassim offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

  Gassim evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Gassim'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 Gassim?

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

• Is Gassim accepting new maritime clients right now?

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