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

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

• Does Viola offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Viola take my case if I'm outside Lakeville?

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

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

• Is Viola accepting new general clients right now?

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