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

Myron discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in estate planning practice — ask which fits.

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

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

• Does Myron offer a free consultation?

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

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

  Simple estate planning 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. Myron gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Myron take my case if I'm outside Palo Alto?

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

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

• Is Myron accepting new estate planning clients right now?

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