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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Alyia for a adoption case?

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

• Does Alyia offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adoption cases in Michigan typically take?

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

• Can Alyia take my case if I'm outside St Clair Shores?

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

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

• Is Alyia accepting new adoption clients right now?

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