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

Martin 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 Martin for a appellate case?

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

• Does Martin offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Martin take my case if I'm outside Braintree?

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

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

• Is Martin accepting new appellate clients right now?

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