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

Rex 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 Rex for a estate planning case?

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

• Does Rex offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do estate planning cases in Connecticut 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. Rex gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Rex take my case if I'm outside Ridgefield?

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

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

• Is Rex accepting new estate planning clients right now?

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