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

• How much does it cost to hire Jonathan for a family law case?

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

• Does Jonathan offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do family law cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Jonathan take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Jonathan evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Jonathan's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Jonathan?

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

• Is Jonathan accepting new family law clients right now?

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