Malissa's primary office is at Atlanta, GA. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

Malissa 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 Malissa for a general case?

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

• Does Malissa offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Malissa take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

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

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

• Is Malissa accepting new general clients right now?

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