• How much does it cost to hire Pierce for a child custody case?

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

• Does Pierce offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do child custody cases in Florida typically take?

  Simple child custody 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. Pierce gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Pierce take my case if I'm outside Miami?

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

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

• Is Pierce accepting new child custody clients right now?

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