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

• How much does it cost to hire Deborah for a aviation case?

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

• Does Deborah offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do aviation cases in Texas typically take?

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

• Can Deborah take my case if I'm outside Dallas?

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

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

• Is Deborah accepting new aviation clients right now?

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