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

Lauralee 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 Lauralee for a general case?

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

• Does Lauralee offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Lauralee take my case if I'm outside New Port Richey?

  Lauralee 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 — Lauralee 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 Lauralee?

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

• Is Lauralee accepting new general clients right now?

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