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

Demaris 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 Demaris for a general case?

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

• Does Demaris offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Demaris take my case if I'm outside Stamford?

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

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

• Is Demaris accepting new general clients right now?

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