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

Ronan 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 Ronan for a appellate case?

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

• Does Ronan offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Ronan take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

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

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

• Is Ronan accepting new appellate clients right now?

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