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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Phelps for a business case?

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

• Does Phelps offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in Wyoming typically take?

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

• Can Phelps take my case if I'm outside Jackson?

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

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

• Is Phelps accepting new business clients right now?

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