• How much does it cost to hire Shalina for a general case?

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

• Does Shalina offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Indiana typically take?

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

• Can Shalina take my case if I'm outside Indianapolis?

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

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

• Is Shalina accepting new general clients right now?
