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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Clarke for a alimony case?

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

• Does Clarke offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do alimony cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Clarke take my case if I'm outside Santa Monica?

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

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

• Is Clarke accepting new alimony clients right now?

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