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

Jo 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 Jo for a discrimination case?

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

• Does Jo offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Jo take my case if I'm outside Indianapolis?

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

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

• Is Jo accepting new discrimination clients right now?

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