• How much does it cost to hire Lanning for a real estate case?

• Does Lanning offer a free consultation?

• How long do real estate cases in this state typically take?

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

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

  Lanning evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Lanning'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 Lanning?

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

• Is Lanning accepting new real estate clients right now?
