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

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

• Does Kari offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do energy cases in Indiana 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. Kari gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Kari take my case if I'm outside Bloomington?

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

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

• Is Kari accepting new energy clients right now?

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