• How much does it cost to hire Hayes for a international case?

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

• Does Hayes offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do international cases in Ohio typically take?

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

• Can Hayes take my case if I'm outside Westlake?

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

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

• Is Hayes accepting new international clients right now?

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