Basic
General questions about working with Blackstone Law.
01. What areas of law does Blackstone Law handle?
We represent clients across business law, criminal defense, workplace accidents, real estate, drug offenses, juvenile crime, and money laundering matters, among others. Visit our Practice Area page for the full list.
02. Do you represent clients outside your home state?
Yes. Blackstone Law operates across multiple states and continents, with representatives who can take your case or coordinate with local counsel wherever you are located.
03. How do I get started with Blackstone Law?
Reach out through our contact form, call our office, or start a live chat with us right on this site. We will schedule a consultation to understand your situation and next steps.
04. Is my initial consultation confidential?
Yes. Everything you share with us during a consultation is protected by attorney-client privilege, whether or not you ultimately hire us.
05. How long does a typical case take?
It depends entirely on the type of case and its complexity. Some matters resolve in weeks through negotiation, while litigated cases can take several months to a year or more. We will give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your case.
06. Can I switch lawyers mid-case if I am unhappy?
Yes, you are always free to change legal representation. If you are already working with another firm and want a second opinion or a change, we can help you transition smoothly.
07. Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes. Since we serve clients across states and continents, most of our initial consultations happen by phone or video call, with in-person meetings available where practical.
08. What should I bring to my first meeting?
Bring any documents related to your case: contracts, correspondence, police or incident reports, and a written timeline of events if you have one. We will let you know if anything specific is needed for your case type.
Lawyers
What to expect from the attorneys handling your case.
01. How experienced are Blackstone Law's attorneys?
Our attorneys bring decades of combined experience across their practice areas, with track records they are happy to discuss during your consultation.
02. Will I work directly with an attorney, or mostly with staff?
You will work directly with your attorney throughout your case. We believe clients deserve real access to the person actually handling their matter.
03. Can I request a specific lawyer for my case?
Yes. If you have read about one of our attorneys and would like them on your case, let us know when you reach out and we will do our best to accommodate you.
04. Do your lawyers specialize, or handle everything?
Our attorneys focus on specific practice areas so you always get someone with real depth of experience in the type of case you are facing.
05. How do I check an attorney's background before hiring?
Every attorney profile on our Lawyers page includes their focus area and background. You are also welcome to ask about credentials and case history directly during your consultation.
Benefits
What you can expect when you become a Blackstone Law client.
01. What do I actually get by hiring Blackstone Law?
Direct attorney access, transparent updates at every stage, and a strategy built specifically around your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
02. Will I be kept updated on my case?
Yes. We communicate proactively and in plain language, so you always know where your case stands and what happens next.
03. Do you help with cases that involve multiple jurisdictions?
Yes, this is one of our core strengths. Our network of representatives across states and continents lets us coordinate cases that cross borders.
04. Can Blackstone Law help with regulatory or compliance matters, not just litigation?
Yes. In areas like business law and money laundering defense, we also advise clients on compliance measures to reduce risk before problems arise.
05. What makes Blackstone Law different from other firms?
The combination of genuine multi-state and multi-continent reach with the kind of personal attention you would expect from a small local firm.
06. Do you provide support in languages other than English?
Given our international client base, we can often coordinate multilingual support. Let us know your needs when you reach out.
Case Process
How a case actually moves from consultation to resolution.
01. How does my case actually move through the process?
After your consultation, we investigate the facts, build a strategy, and keep you informed as we negotiate, file, or litigate as needed.
02. Will you tell me if going to court is not worth it?
Yes. We will always give you an honest assessment, including when settlement or mediation is a better outcome than a trial.
03. What happens if new evidence comes up mid-case?
We reassess strategy as new facts emerge. Cases evolve, and we adjust our approach to keep protecting your interests.
04. How will I know when my case is finished?
Your attorney will walk you through the final outcome, any next steps, and what it means for you going forward.
Fees
Straight answers about billing and payment.
01. How does billing work at Blackstone Law?
Fees depend on the type of case. Some matters are billed hourly, others on a flat fee, and certain case types may be handled on a contingency basis. We will explain the structure clearly before you commit to anything.
02. Do you charge for the first consultation?
Many of our practice areas offer a free initial consultation. Ask when you reach out, and we will confirm before you book.
03. What payment methods do you accept?
We accept standard payment methods including bank transfer and major cards. Details are provided once you move forward with representation.
04. Will I get a written estimate before work begins?
Yes. You will receive a clear written fee agreement before we begin any billable work on your case.
05. Are there any hidden costs I should know about?
No. We disclose all potential costs, including court filing fees and any third-party expenses, upfront.
06. Can fees be adjusted if my case becomes more complex?
If the scope of your case changes significantly, we will discuss any fee adjustments with you before proceeding, never after the fact.
07. What happens if I cannot pay the full fee upfront?
We offer payment plans for many case types. Talk to us about your situation and we will find an arrangement that works.
