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

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

• Does Andrea offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do elder law cases in Maryland typically take?

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

• Can Andrea take my case if I'm outside Mitchellville?

  Andrea 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 — Andrea 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 Andrea?

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

• Is Andrea accepting new elder law clients right now?

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