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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Keats for a government case?

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

• Does Keats offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Minnesota typically take?

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

• Can Keats take my case if I'm outside St Paul?

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

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

• Is Keats accepting new government clients right now?

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