• How much does it cost to hire Martino for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Martino offer a free consultation?

• How long do bankruptcy cases in this state typically take?

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

• Can Martino take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Martino evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Martino's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Martino?

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

• Is Martino accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?
