• How much does it cost to hire Gustavo for a elder law case?

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

• Does Gustavo offer a free consultation?

• How long do elder law cases in Florida typically take?

  Simple elder law 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. Gustavo gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Gustavo take my case if I'm outside Lakeland?

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

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

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