Kristie 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 Kristie for a general case?

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

• Does Kristie offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in New Mexico 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. Kristie gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Kristie take my case if I'm outside Albuquerque?

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

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

• Is Kristie accepting new general clients right now?

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