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

Kristen 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 Kristen for a litigation case?

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

• Does Kristen offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Kristen take my case if I'm outside Minneapolis?

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

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

• Is Kristen accepting new litigation clients right now?

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