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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Deana for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Deana offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do civil rights cases in Georgia typically take?

  Simple civil rights 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. Deana gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Deana take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

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

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

• Is Deana accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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