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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Harry for a consumer case?

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

• Does Harry offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in Massachusetts typically take?

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

• Can Harry take my case if I'm outside Boston?

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

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

• Is Harry accepting new consumer clients right now?

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