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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Lorena for a real estate case?

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

• Does Lorena offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do real estate cases in California typically take?

  Simple real estate 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. Lorena gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Lorena take my case if I'm outside Chula Vista?

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

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

• Is Lorena accepting new real estate clients right now?

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