• How much does it cost to hire Regina for a legal case?

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

• Does Regina offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Regina take my case if I'm outside Albany?

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

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

• Is Regina accepting new legal clients right now?

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