• How much does it cost to hire Flavia for a formation case?

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

• Does Flavia offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do formation cases in Massachusetts typically take?

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

• Can Flavia take my case if I'm outside Braintree?

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

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

• Is Flavia accepting new formation clients right now?

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