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

Maxine discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in consumer practice — ask which fits.

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

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

• Does Maxine offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in New York 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. Maxine gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Maxine take my case if I'm outside New York?

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

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

• Is Maxine accepting new consumer clients right now?

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