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

Josée 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 Josée for a education case?

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

• Does Josée offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do education cases in this state 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. Josée gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Josée evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Josée'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 Josée?

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

• Is Josée accepting new education clients right now?

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