• How much does it cost to hire Sara for a bankruptcy case?

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

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

• Can Sara take my case if I'm outside Trenton?

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