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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jeanne for a discrimination case?

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

• Does Jeanne offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do discrimination cases in New Jersey typically take?

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

• Can Jeanne take my case if I'm outside Montclair?

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

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

• Is Jeanne accepting new discrimination clients right now?

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