• How much does it cost to hire Geraldine for a adr case?

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

• Does Geraldine offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adr cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Geraldine take my case if I'm outside Sonoma?

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

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

• Is Geraldine accepting new adr clients right now?

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