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

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

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

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

• Does Ailsa offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Ailsa take my case if I'm outside Knoxville?

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

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

• Is Ailsa accepting new general clients right now?

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