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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Krista for a tax case?

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

• Does Krista offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do tax cases in Maryland typically take?

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

• Can Krista take my case if I'm outside Bethesda?

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

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

• Is Krista accepting new tax clients right now?

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