• How much does it cost to hire Maryellen for a appellate case?

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

• Does Maryellen offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in Connecticut typically take?

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

• Can Maryellen take my case if I'm outside Hartford?

  Maryellen 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 — Maryellen 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 Maryellen?

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

• Is Maryellen accepting new appellate clients right now?

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