Pamela's primary office is at 815 Ritchie Hwy., Ste. 118, Severna Park, MD, 21146. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

Pamela 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 Pamela for a adr case?

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

• Does Pamela offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Pamela take my case if I'm outside Severna Park?

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

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

• Is Pamela accepting new adr clients right now?

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