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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jefferson for a energy case?

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

• Does Jefferson offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do energy cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Jefferson take my case if I'm outside Destin?

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

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

• Is Jefferson accepting new energy clients right now?

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