• How much does it cost to hire Dawn-Marie for a ip case?

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

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