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

• How much does it cost to hire Johanne for a business case?

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

• Does Johanne offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Johanne accepting new business clients right now?

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