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

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

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

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

• Does Honorable offer a free consultation?

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

• 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. Honorable gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Honorable take my case if I'm outside Deland?

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

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

• Is Honorable accepting new adoption clients right now?

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