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

Chantelle 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 Chantelle for a general case?

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

• Does Chantelle offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Maryland 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. Chantelle gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Chantelle take my case if I'm outside Columbia?

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

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

• Is Chantelle accepting new general clients right now?

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