• How much does it cost to hire Mikel for a patent case?

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

• Does Mikel offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do patent cases in Minnesota typically take?

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

• Can Mikel take my case if I'm outside Shakopee?

  Mikel 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 — Mikel 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 Mikel?

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

• Is Mikel accepting new patent clients right now?

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