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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Sheldon for a divorce case?

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

• Does Sheldon offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do divorce cases in Tennessee typically take?

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

• Can Sheldon take my case if I'm outside Memphis?

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

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

• Is Sheldon accepting new divorce clients right now?

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