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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Quentin for a alimony case?

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

• Does Quentin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do alimony cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Quentin take my case if I'm outside Fort Lauderdale?

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

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

• Is Quentin accepting new alimony clients right now?

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