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

• How much does it cost to hire Maria for a creditor rights case?

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

• Does Maria offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do creditor rights cases in New York typically take?

  Simple creditor rights 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. Maria gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Maria take my case if I'm outside Melville?

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

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

• Is Maria accepting new creditor rights clients right now?

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