• How much does it cost to hire Martine for a legal case?

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

• Does Martine offer a free consultation?

• How long do legal cases in Iowa typically take?

  Simple legal 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. Martine gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Martine take my case if I'm outside Des Moines?

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

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

• Is Martine accepting new legal clients right now?

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