• How much does it cost to hire Magdalena for a general case?

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

• Does Magdalena offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Magdalena take my case if I'm outside Greenwich?

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

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

• Is Magdalena accepting new general clients right now?

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