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

Carli 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 Carli for a probate case?

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

• Does Carli offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do probate cases in Arizona 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. Carli gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Carli take my case if I'm outside Phoenix?

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

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

• Is Carli accepting new probate clients right now?

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