• How much does it cost to hire Marcelyn for a appellate case?

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

• Can Marcelyn take my case if I'm outside Farmington Hills?

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

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