• How much does it cost to hire Tate for a tax case?

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

• Does Tate offer a free consultation?

• How long do tax cases in Connecticut typically take?

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

• Can Tate take my case if I'm outside Milford?

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

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