• How much does it cost to hire Amy for a estate planning case?

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

• Does Amy offer a free consultation?

• How long do estate planning cases in Michigan typically take?

• Can Amy take my case if I'm outside Ann Arbor?

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

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