• How much does it cost to hire Taylor for a general case?

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

• Does Taylor offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Minnesota typically take?

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

• Can Taylor take my case if I'm outside Stillwater?

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

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

• Is Taylor accepting new general clients right now?

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