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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Nancy for a personal injury case?

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

• Does Nancy offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do personal injury cases in Michigan typically take?

  Simple personal injury 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. Nancy gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Nancy take my case if I'm outside East Lansing?

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

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

• Is Nancy accepting new personal injury clients right now?

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