• How much does it cost to hire Marliese for a business case?

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

• Does Marliese offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Marliese take my case if I'm outside Trenton?

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

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