Jolene 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 Jolene for a general case?

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

• Does Jolene offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Jolene take my case if I'm outside Boston?

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

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

• Is Jolene accepting new general clients right now?

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