• Can Antoinette take my case if I'm outside San Francisco?

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

• Is Antoinette accepting new citizenship clients right now?

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