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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Mary-Lee for a adr case?

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

• Does Mary-Lee offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adr cases in California typically take?

  Simple adr 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. Mary-Lee gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Mary-Lee take my case if I'm outside Oakland?

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

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

• Is Mary-Lee accepting new adr clients right now?

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