• How much does it cost to hire Jordan for a estate planning case?

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

• Does Jordan offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do estate planning cases in Illinois typically take?

• Can Jordan take my case if I'm outside Galva?

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

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

• Is Jordan accepting new estate planning clients right now?
