• How much does it cost to hire Monica for a elder law case?

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

• Does Monica offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Monica take my case if I'm outside Cherry Hill?

  Monica 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 — Monica 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 Monica?

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

• Is Monica accepting new elder law clients right now?

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