If so, please tell me what I might expect. I don't want to make a rash decision. I have chosen who I'd like to consult, and she DOES NOT give "free consults". I'm just procrastinating the consultation out of fear. Like something "bad" will happen to me if I fire my attorney. Any feedback appreciated in advance...

You do not need a free consult. A free consult is a review of the facts of YOUR case. You do not need that. You have a general question - see in bold above. Just ask the attorney whom you are considering. If she does not answer, call the bar association of your state and they will give you definitive advice. The legal practice differs by state, so asking on here is not the most accurate way to have your question answered.
