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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Irena for a formation case?

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

• Does Irena offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do formation cases in Georgia typically take?

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

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

  Irena 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 — Irena 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 Irena?

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

• Is Irena accepting new formation clients right now?

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