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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Janey for a consumer case?

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

• Does Janey offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Janey take my case if I'm outside Los Angeles?

  Janey 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 — Janey 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 Janey?

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

• Is Janey accepting new consumer clients right now?

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