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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Milana for a divorce case?

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

• Does Milana offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do divorce cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Milana take my case if I'm outside Fresh Meadows?

  Milana 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 — Milana 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 Milana?

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

• Is Milana accepting new divorce clients right now?

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