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

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

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

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

• Does Willard offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Indiana 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. Willard gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Willard take my case if I'm outside Knightstown?

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

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

• Is Willard accepting new general clients right now?

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