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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Suzanne for a education case?

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

• Does Suzanne offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

• Can Suzanne take my case if I'm outside White Plains?

  Suzanne 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 — Suzanne 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 Suzanne?

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

• Is Suzanne accepting new education clients right now?

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