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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Chanette for a general case?

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

• Does Chanette offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Chanette take my case if I'm outside Irvine?

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

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

• Is Chanette accepting new general clients right now?

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