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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Fitzgerald for a family law case?

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

• Does Fitzgerald offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do family law cases in Virginia typically take?

  Simple family law 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. Fitzgerald gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Fitzgerald take my case if I'm outside Falls Church?

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

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

• Is Fitzgerald accepting new family law clients right now?

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