• How much does it cost to hire Diana for a environmental case?

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

• Does Diana offer a free consultation?

• How long do environmental cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Diana take my case if I'm outside Orangeburg?

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

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