• How much does it cost to hire Rene for a formation case?

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

• Does Rene offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do formation cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Rene take my case if I'm outside New York?

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

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