• How long do juvenile cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Cassandra take my case if I'm outside Melbourne?

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

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