• How much does it cost to hire Annette for a agriculture case?

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

• Does Annette offer a free consultation?

• Can Annette take my case if I'm outside Randolph?

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