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

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

• Does Margo offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Margo take my case if I'm outside Mariposa?

  Margo 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 — Margo 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 Margo?

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

• Is Margo accepting new general clients right now?

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