• How much does it cost to hire Elwood for a litigation case?

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

• Does Elwood offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in North Carolina typically take?

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

• Can Elwood take my case if I'm outside Sanford?

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

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

• Is Elwood accepting new litigation clients right now?

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