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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Amelia for a contracts case?

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

• Does Amelia offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do contracts cases in Washington typically take?

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

• Can Amelia take my case if I'm outside Bellevue?

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

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

• Is Amelia accepting new contracts clients right now?

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