• How much does it cost to hire Jacquelyn for a business case?

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

• Does Jacquelyn offer a free consultation?

• How long do business cases in Massachusetts typically take?

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

• Can Jacquelyn take my case if I'm outside Cambridge?

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

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

• Is Jacquelyn accepting new business clients right now?

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