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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Yasthel for a appellate case?

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

• Does Yasthel offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Is Yasthel accepting new appellate clients right now?

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