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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Regis for a child custody case?

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

• Does Regis offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do child custody cases in Virginia typically take?

  Simple child custody 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. Regis gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Regis take my case if I'm outside Norfolk?

  Regis 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 — Regis 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 Regis?

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

• Is Regis accepting new child custody clients right now?

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