• How much does it cost to hire Gabriele for a adoption case?

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

• Does Gabriele offer a free consultation?

• How long do adoption cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Gabriele take my case if I'm outside Margate?

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Gabriele?

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