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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Chynna for a litigation case?

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

• Does Chynna offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in North Carolina typically take?

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

• Can Chynna take my case if I'm outside Raleigh?

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

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

• Is Chynna accepting new litigation clients right now?

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