Porscha 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 Porscha for a appellate case?

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

• Does Porscha offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Porscha take my case if I'm outside Houston?

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

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

• Is Porscha accepting new appellate clients right now?

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