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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Desirée for a environmental case?

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

• Does Desirée offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do environmental cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Desirée take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Desirée evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Desirée's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Desirée?

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

• Is Desirée accepting new environmental clients right now?

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