Does Drew offer a free consultation?

How long do estate planning cases in Massachusetts 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. Drew gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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