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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Claire for a family law case?

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

• Does Claire offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do family law cases in this state typically take?

  Simple family law 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. Claire gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Claire take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Claire evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Claire's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Claire?

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

• Is Claire accepting new family law clients right now?

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