• How much does it cost to hire Stanley for a general case?

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

• Does Stanley offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Stanley take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Stanley evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Stanley's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

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

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

• Is Stanley accepting new general clients right now?

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