• How much does it cost to hire Diane for a general case?

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

• Does Diane offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in New Jersey typically take?

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

• Can Diane take my case if I'm outside Woodbury?

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

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

• Is Diane accepting new general clients right now?

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