• How much does it cost to hire Pierre-Yves for a business case?

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

• Does Pierre-Yves offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in Connecticut 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. Pierre-Yves gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Pierre-Yves take my case if I'm outside Greenwich?

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

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

• Is Pierre-Yves accepting new business clients right now?

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