12 Questions

What South Florida clients most often ask.

Quick answers to the questions that come up before, during, and after retention.

Uncontested divorces with no children, property, or significant assets can be handled for a flat fee. Contested divorces involving custody, alimony, or property division typically fall in the $4,000–$7,000 retainer range, with payment plans available. Every case is quoted individually after a consultation.
Yes. Payment plans are available for most matters at LH Frye Law. We believe access to a strong attorney shouldn't be limited to people who can write a single large check. We structure plans that work for working professionals, parents, and small business owners.
Uncontested custody matters can resolve in 60–90 days. Contested cases — especially those involving relocation, parental fitness, or interstate jurisdiction — often run 9–18 months. Lateshia gives you a realistic timeline based on your specific facts at the consultation, not a generic estimate.
You will work directly with Lateshia. LH Frye Law is a solo practice by design. You will not be passed off to a junior associate, paralegal, or case manager. Your case is handled by the attorney whose name is on the door.
Yes. Lateshia is licensed throughout Florida and regularly represents clients in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties — Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, Davie, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Miami, and surrounding areas.
A short timeline of events, any contracts, court papers, demand letters, or correspondence relevant to your matter, and a list of questions you want answered. Don't worry about organizing it perfectly — Lateshia will work through it with you. Honesty matters more than presentation.
No. Consultations are scheduled in advance and are paid — but they are honest. You'll know more about your case leaving the consultation than you did walking in. That's the only promise we make.
Yes. Qualifying personal injury cases — auto accidents, premises liability, wrongful death — can be handled on a contingency-fee basis, meaning no fees are owed unless we recover for you. Lateshia will tell you upfront whether your case qualifies.
We respond to client communications within 24 business hours, and usually faster. You'll have direct access — phone, email, and text — to Lateshia, not a generic intake line.
Lateshia spent six years inside insurance defense. She knows how denials are structured, which adjuster tactics are routine, and where claims files go vulnerable. That experience compresses what would otherwise be months of discovery into a much sharper opening posture.
Yes. High-conflict custody and out-of-state relocation cases are common in South Florida, and Lateshia handles them regularly across all three South Florida counties. Her DCF background gives her working familiarity with how courts evaluate parental fitness and the specific issues that move custody outcomes.
Yes. Conversations with Lateshia — even at the consultation stage, before retention — are protected by Florida's attorney-client privilege under Rule 4-1.6 of the Florida Bar's Rules of Professional Conduct. Lateshia takes that obligation seriously.
