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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Xan for a maritime case?

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

• Does Xan offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do maritime cases in Oregon typically take?

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

• Can Xan take my case if I'm outside Portland?

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

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

• Is Xan accepting new maritime clients right now?

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