• How much does it cost to hire Teressa for a family law case?

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

• Does Teressa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do family law cases in Arizona typically take?

  Simple family law 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. Teressa gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Teressa take my case if I'm outside Phoenix?

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

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

• Is Teressa accepting new family law clients right now?

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