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

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

• How much does it cost to hire DeeAn for a adoption case?

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

• Does DeeAn offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adoption cases in Arizona typically take?

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

• Can DeeAn take my case if I'm outside Phoenix?

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

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

• Is DeeAn accepting new adoption clients right now?

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