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

Marissa 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 Marissa for a health care case?

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

• Does Marissa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do health care cases in Texas 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. Marissa gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Marissa take my case if I'm outside San Antonio?

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

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

• Is Marissa accepting new health care clients right now?

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