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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Maeve for a contracts case?

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

• Does Maeve offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do contracts cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Maeve take my case if I'm outside Pasadena?

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

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

• Is Maeve accepting new contracts clients right now?

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