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

• How much does it cost to hire Benoit for a wills case?

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

• Does Benoit offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do wills cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Benoit take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Benoit evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Benoit's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Benoit?

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

• Is Benoit accepting new wills clients right now?

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