• How much does it cost to hire Meagan for a legal case?

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

• Does Meagan offer a free consultation?

• How long do legal cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Meagan take my case if I'm outside Palo Alto?

  Meagan 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 — Meagan 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 Meagan?

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

• Is Meagan accepting new legal clients right now?

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