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

Beverly 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 Beverly for a contracts case?

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

• Does Beverly offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Beverly take my case if I'm outside Santa Rosa?

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

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

• Is Beverly accepting new contracts clients right now?

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