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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jude for a class action case?

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

• Does Jude offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do class action cases in Texas typically take?

  Simple class action 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. Jude gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Jude take my case if I'm outside Houston?

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

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

• Is Jude accepting new class action clients right now?

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