• How much does it cost to hire Melissa for a medical malpractice case?

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

• Does Melissa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do medical malpractice cases in New Jersey typically take?

  Simple medical malpractice 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. Melissa gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Melissa take my case if I'm outside Cherry Hill?

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

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

• Is Melissa accepting new medical malpractice clients right now?

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