Working with a new estate planning attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Chitra usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

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

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

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

• Does Chitra offer a free consultation?

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

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

  Simple estate planning 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. Chitra gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Chitra take my case if I'm outside Houston?

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

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

• Is Chitra accepting new estate planning clients right now?
