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

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

• Can Sandra take my case if I'm outside Indianapolis?

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

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters.
