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

• How much does it cost to hire Monserrat for a adr case?

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

• Does Monserrat offer a free consultation?

• How long do adr cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Monserrat take my case if I'm outside Sacramento?

  Monserrat 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 — Monserrat 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 Monserrat?

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

• Is Monserrat accepting new adr clients right now?

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