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

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

• Does Margaret offer a free consultation?

• How long do family law cases in New Jersey typically take?

  Simple family law 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. Margaret gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Margaret take my case if I'm outside Willingboro?

  Margaret 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 — Margaret 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 Margaret?

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