• How much does it cost to hire Alison for a litigation case?

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

• Does Alison offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Alison take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Alison evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Alison's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Alison?

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

• Is Alison accepting new litigation clients right now?

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