Working with a new probate attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Jacqueline usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Jacqueline discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in probate practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Jacqueline for a probate case?

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

• Does Jacqueline offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do probate cases in Florida typically take?

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

• Can Jacqueline take my case if I'm outside Jacksonville?

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

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

• Is Jacqueline accepting new probate clients right now?

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