• How much does it cost to hire Agnes for a elder law case?

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

• Does Agnes offer a free consultation?

  Simple elder law 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. Agnes gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Agnes take my case if I'm outside Greenbelt?

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

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