C.'s primary office is at Esquina Calle La Paz, 802 Ave. Fernandez Juncos, San Juan, PR, 00907-4315. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire C. for a insurance case?

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

• Does C. offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

  C. evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside C.'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 C.?

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

• Is C. accepting new insurance clients right now?

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