• How much does it cost to hire Raelenne for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Raelenne offer a free consultation?

• How long do bankruptcy cases in Virginia typically take?

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

• Can Raelenne take my case if I'm outside Richmond?

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

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

• Is Raelenne accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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