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

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

• Does Lynetta offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Lynetta take my case if I'm outside Portland?

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

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

• Is Lynetta accepting new general clients right now?

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