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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Maigreade for a appellate case?

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

• Does Maigreade offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in West Virginia typically take?

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

• Can Maigreade take my case if I'm outside Charleston?

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

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

• Is Maigreade accepting new appellate clients right now?

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