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

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

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

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

• Does Melody offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in Minnesota 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. Melody gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Melody take my case if I'm outside Coon Rapids?

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

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

• Is Melody accepting new legal clients right now?

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