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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Janice for a government case?

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

• Does Janice offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Janice take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Janice evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Janice's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Janice?

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

• Is Janice accepting new government clients right now?

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