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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Dolly for a formation case?

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

• Does Dolly offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do formation cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Dolly take my case if I'm outside Los Angeles?

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

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

• Is Dolly accepting new formation clients right now?

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