• How much does it cost to hire Betsy for a international case?

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

• Does Betsy offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do international cases in Minnesota typically take?

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

• Can Betsy take my case if I'm outside Minneapolis?

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

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

• Is Betsy accepting new international clients right now?

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