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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Cori for a adoption case?

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

• Does Cori offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adoption cases in Texas typically take?

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

• Can Cori take my case if I'm outside Fort Worth?

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

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

• Is Cori accepting new adoption clients right now?

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