• How much does it cost to hire Cheryll for a family law case?

• Can Cheryll take my case if I'm outside Dayton?

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

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

• Is Cheryll accepting new family law clients right now?

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