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

Does Alla offer a free consultation?

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

How long do adoption cases in New York typically take?

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

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