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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Marcelo for a health care case?

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

• Does Marcelo offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do health care cases in Indiana typically take?

  Simple health care 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. Marcelo gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Marcelo take my case if I'm outside Indianapolis?

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

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

• Is Marcelo accepting new health care clients right now?

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