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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Ester for a legal case?

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

• Does Ester offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in Ohio typically take?

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

• Can Ester take my case if I'm outside Solon?

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

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

• Is Ester accepting new legal clients right now?

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