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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jodee for a general case?

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

• Does Jodee offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Michigan typically take?

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

• Can Jodee take my case if I'm outside Bloomfield Hills?

  Jodee 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 — Jodee 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 Jodee?

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

• Is Jodee accepting new general clients right now?

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