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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Gabrielle for a contracts case?

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

• Does Gabrielle offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do contracts cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Gabrielle take my case if I'm outside Los Gatos?

  Gabrielle 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 — Gabrielle 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 Gabrielle?

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

• Is Gabrielle accepting new contracts clients right now?

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