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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Frisco for a divorce case?

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

• Does Frisco offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do divorce cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Frisco take my case if I'm outside Santa Monica?

  Frisco 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 — Frisco 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 Frisco?

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

• Is Frisco accepting new divorce clients right now?

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