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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Janiel for a cannabis case?

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

• Does Janiel offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do cannabis cases in Michigan typically take?

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

• Can Janiel take my case if I'm outside Novi?

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

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

• Is Janiel accepting new cannabis clients right now?

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