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

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

• Does Shannan offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in New Mexico 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. Shannan gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Shannan take my case if I'm outside Los Lunas?

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

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

• Is Shannan accepting new general clients right now?

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