Questions and answers

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, we offer free consultations in a variety of cases. If a paid consultation is required, we will let you know the cost so you can decide whether you want to proceed.

How much does an initial consultation cost?

The cost of an initial consultation can vary by the type of matter. Some consultations may be offered at no charge, while others involve a modest fee. Please contact the office to confirm what applies to your situation.

What areas do you serve?

While we are based in Lake and Broward counties, we serve clients throughout the state of Florida. Meeghan regularly handles probate matters statewide, including for families who live outside Florida but have a loved one’s property or estate here. If you are unsure whether your matter falls within our service area, reach out and we will be glad to point you in the right direction.

Do I really need an estate plan?

For most people, the answer is yes. An estate plan lets you decide who receives your assets, name guardians for minor children, and choose who will make decisions if you become unable to. Even a straightforward plan can spare your family uncertainty and added stress during a difficult time.

How long does probate take in Florida?

It depends on the size and complexity of the estate. Many probate matters conclude within a few months, while more involved estates can take a year or longer. We will give you a clearer estimate once we understand the specifics of your case.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

A valid photo ID and any documents related to your matter are a helpful start. That might include existing wills or trusts, court papers, correspondence, insurance information, or accident and medical records. When in doubt, bring it along, it is easier to set aside what we do not need than to track it down later.

How are your fees structured?

Fee arrangements depend on the type of matter. Some services are handled on a flat fee, others hourly, and certain injury cases may be taken on a contingency basis. We will explain the structure that applies to your matter clearly and up front.
