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

Fu-Mei discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in family law practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Fu-Mei for a family law case?

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

• Does Fu-Mei offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do family law cases in Maryland typically take?

  Simple family law 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. Fu-Mei gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Fu-Mei take my case if I'm outside Ellicott City?

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

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

• Is Fu-Mei accepting new family law clients right now?

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