• How much does it cost to hire Shannon for a trademark case?

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

• Does Shannon offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do trademark cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Shannon take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Shannon evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Shannon's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Shannon?

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

• Is Shannon accepting new trademark clients right now?

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