• How much does it cost to hire Rosemarie for a government case?

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

• Does Rosemarie offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Rosemarie take my case if I'm outside Coral Gables?

  Rosemarie 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 — Rosemarie 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 Rosemarie?

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

• Is Rosemarie accepting new government clients right now?

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