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

• How much does it cost to hire Maureen for a consumer case?

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

• Does Maureen offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in Michigan typically take?

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

• Can Maureen take my case if I'm outside Jenison?

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

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

• Is Maureen accepting new consumer clients right now?

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