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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Wade for a agriculture case?

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

• Does Wade offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do agriculture cases in Iowa typically take?

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

• Can Wade take my case if I'm outside Des Moines?

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

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

• Is Wade accepting new agriculture clients right now?

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