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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jane for a education case?

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

• Does Jane offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do education cases in Kentucky typically take?

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

• Can Jane take my case if I'm outside Lexington?

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

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

• Is Jane accepting new education clients right now?

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