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

Lynne 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 Lynne for a litigation case?

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

• Does Lynne offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Lynne take my case if I'm outside Virginia Beach?

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

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

• Is Lynne accepting new litigation clients right now?

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