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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Sharee for a adoption case?

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

• Does Sharee offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adoption cases in Illinois typically take?

  Simple adoption 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. Sharee gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Sharee take my case if I'm outside Murphysboro?

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

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

• Is Sharee accepting new adoption clients right now?

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