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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Clare for a contracts case?

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

• Does Clare offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do contracts cases in District of Columbia typically take?

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

• Can Clare take my case if I'm outside Washington?

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

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

• Is Clare accepting new contracts clients right now?

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