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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Gailya for a general case?

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

• Does Gailya offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Georgia typically take?

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

• Can Gailya take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

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

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

• Is Gailya accepting new general clients right now?

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