Janaya 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 Janaya for a general case?

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

• Does Janaya offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Connecticut 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. Janaya gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Janaya take my case if I'm outside New Haven?

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

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

• Is Janaya accepting new general clients right now?

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