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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Colette for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Colette offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in North Carolina typically take?

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

• Can Colette take my case if I'm outside Charlotte?

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

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

• Is Colette accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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