Working with a new estate planning attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Ryan usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

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

• How much does it cost to hire Ryan for a estate planning case?

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

• Does Ryan offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do estate planning cases in Oregon typically take?

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

• Can Ryan take my case if I'm outside Salem?

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

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

• Is Ryan accepting new estate planning clients right now?

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