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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Russell for a consumer case?

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

• Does Russell offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in Missouri typically take?

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

• Can Russell take my case if I'm outside Ballwin?

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

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

• Is Russell accepting new consumer clients right now?

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