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

• Does Natalee offer a free consultation?

• How long do legal cases in Oregon 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. Natalee gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Natalee?

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

• Is Natalee accepting new legal clients right now?

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