Free consultation FAQ
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The initial consultation is free and comes with no obligation. We use that time to understand your situation and outline realistic options. If you decide to move forward, we will explain the engagement and fees before any paid work begins.
How long does a consultation usually take?
Most consultations last about 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the complexity of your matter. You can meet by phone, by video, or by appointment in person at our Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Manhasset (Long Island) office.
What should I have ready?
Bring or have on hand any wills, trusts, deeds, court papers, or a simple list of assets and family members involved. If you do not have documents yet, that is fine — we can still talk through your goals and next steps.
Do you handle New York matters only?
Our practice focuses on New York trusts, estates, probate, guardianship, and related planning. If part of your situation involves another state, we will tell you what we can handle and when local counsel elsewhere may be needed.
What happens after I submit the form?
Our team reviews your message and contacts you about scheduling. If your matter is urgent, such as an upcoming court date or filing deadline, please call (212) 518-3868 instead of waiting for a reply to the form. Submitting the form or meeting with us for a consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. We can act on your behalf only after we have agreed in writing to represent you.
