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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jillian for a litigation case?

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

• Does Jillian offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Jillian take my case if I'm outside Tampa?

  Jillian 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 — Jillian 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 Jillian?

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

• Is Jillian accepting new litigation clients right now?

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