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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Cari for a insurance case?

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

• Does Cari offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do insurance cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Cari take my case if I'm outside Miami?

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

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

• Is Cari accepting new insurance clients right now?

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