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

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

• Does Janelle offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Janelle take my case if I'm outside Miami?

  Janelle 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 — Janelle 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 Janelle?

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

• Is Janelle accepting new general clients right now?

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