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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Tamara for a insurance case?

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

• Does Tamara offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do insurance cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Tamara take my case if I'm outside Syracuse?

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

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

• Is Tamara accepting new insurance clients right now?

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