• How much does it cost to hire Delney for a adr case?

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

• Does Delney offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adr cases in Washington typically take?

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

• Can Delney take my case if I'm outside Seattle?

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

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

• Is Delney accepting new adr clients right now?

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