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

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

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

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

• Does Cheryll offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adr cases in Washington typically take?

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

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

  Cheryll is licensed in Washington. Matters governed by Washington 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 adr clients right now?

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