• How much does it cost to hire Estefania for a appellate case?

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

• Does Estefania offer a free consultation?

• Can Estefania take my case if I'm outside Lorton?

  Estefania 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 — Estefania 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 Estefania?

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