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

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

• Can Gwen take my case if I'm outside Newark?

  Gwen is licensed in New Jersey. Matters governed by New Jersey law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Gwen will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

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