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

Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Dexter will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
