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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Pauline for a consumer case?

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

• Does Pauline offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in Mississippi typically take?

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

• Can Pauline take my case if I'm outside Oxford?

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

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

• Is Pauline accepting new consumer clients right now?

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