• How much does it cost to hire Fiona for a child custody case?

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

• Does Fiona offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do child custody cases in Illinois typically take?

  Simple child custody 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. Fiona gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Fiona take my case if I'm outside Waukegan?

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

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