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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Maija for a legal case?

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

• Does Maija offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in Washington typically take?

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

• Can Maija take my case if I'm outside Spokane?

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

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

• Is Maija accepting new legal clients right now?

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