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

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

• Does Germaine offer a free consultation?

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

  Germaine 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 — Germaine will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

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