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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Seton for a estate litigation case?

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

• Does Seton offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do estate litigation cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Seton take my case if I'm outside San Marcos?

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

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

• Is Seton accepting new estate litigation clients right now?

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