• How much does it cost to hire Hetal for a family law case?

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

• Does Hetal offer a free consultation?

• Can Hetal take my case if I'm outside Edison?

  Hetal 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 — Hetal 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 Hetal?

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