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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Patrice for a education case?

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

• Does Patrice offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do education cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Patrice take my case if I'm outside San Diego?

  Patrice 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 — Patrice 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 Patrice?

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

• Is Patrice accepting new education clients right now?

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