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

Isabella 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 Isabella for a legal case?

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

• Does Isabella offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in New Jersey 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. Isabella gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Isabella take my case if I'm outside Newark?

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

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

• Is Isabella accepting new legal clients right now?

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