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

Cristin 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 Cristin for a general case?

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

• Does Cristin offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Cristin take my case if I'm outside Boston?

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

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

• Is Cristin accepting new general clients right now?

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