• How much does it cost to hire Karinna for a legal case?

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

• Does Karinna offer a free consultation?

• How long do legal cases in Maine typically take?

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

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

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

• Is Karinna accepting new legal clients right now?
