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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Karel for a medical malpractice case?

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

• Does Karel offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do medical malpractice cases in Florida typically take?

  Simple medical malpractice 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. Karel gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Karel take my case if I'm outside Orlando?

  Karel 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 — Karel 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 Karel?

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

• Is Karel accepting new medical malpractice clients right now?

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