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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Susan for a securities case?

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

• Does Susan offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

  Susan evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Susan'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 Susan?

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

• Is Susan accepting new securities clients right now?

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