• How much does it cost to hire Donna for a estate litigation case?

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

• Does Donna offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do estate litigation cases in Georgia typically take?

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

• Can Donna take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

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

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