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

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

• Does Marianne offer a free consultation?

• How long do elder law cases in Kentucky 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. Marianne gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Marianne take my case if I'm outside Paducah?

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

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

• Is Marianne accepting new elder law clients right now?

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