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

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

• Does Franklin offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Franklin take my case if I'm outside Cheyenne?

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

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