• How much does it cost to hire Candace for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Candace offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in Ohio typically take?

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

• Can Candace take my case if I'm outside Westlake?

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

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

• Is Candace accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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