FAQs

Objection Busting

How much does this cost?2026-01-17T10:05:21+00:00

The cost of litigation can vary significantly depending on the circumstances of each case. Factors such as the complexity of the issues, the amount in dispute, the number of parties involved, and whether the matter resolves early or proceeds through discovery, motion practice, or trial all impact the overall cost.

Our firm bills on an hourly basis, meaning clients are charged only for the legal work actually performed on their case. We do not charge flat or bundled litigation fees because no two matters require the same level of time or effort.

Clients receive detailed monthly invoices that clearly outline the work performed, the time spent, and the corresponding charges, allowing for transparency and ongoing awareness of costs. We also strive to work efficiently and strategically, with an eye toward resolving matters in a cost-effective manner whenever possible.

During the initial consultation, we are happy to discuss the anticipated scope of work and provide guidance on what factors may influence fees in your particular matter.

What if my family is extra-complicated?2026-01-17T10:04:31+00:00

You are not alone. In our experience, every family is complicated in its own way. Blended families, second marriages, estranged relatives, sibling rivalries, long-standing grievances, and differing expectations are common features of trust and estate disputes.

Our firm focuses specifically on trust and estate litigation, and the majority of the matters we handle involve complex family dynamics. We understand that these cases are not just about legal documents they are about people, relationships, history, and emotions. Navigating those dynamics thoughtfully and strategically is a critical part of achieving successful outcomes.

We approach each case with discretion, professionalism, and a clear understanding of both the legal issues and the personal sensitivities involved. Our goal is to protect our clients interests while managing conflict efficiently and, when possible, minimizing unnecessary escalation.

No matter how complicated your family situation may feel, it is not unfamiliar to us. We are experienced in guiding clients through even the most challenging circumstances with clarity, confidence, and results.

How fast can this be resolved?2026-01-17T10:06:46+00:00

The timeline for resolving a trust or estate dispute varies widely and depends on several factors. Some matters resolve informally or through early negotiation, while others require court involvement, discovery, motion practice, a trial, or even an appeal. Each of these stages can significantly impact how long a case takes.

That said, our firm is always focused on achieving the best possible outcome in the most efficient manner appropriate for the case. We evaluate each matter early to determine whether resolution is possible without prolonged litigation, and we pursue strategic solutions that align with our clients goals.

When litigation is necessary, we move cases forward diligently and deliberately, keeping clients informed at each stage of the process and advocating for timely progress whenever possible. While we cannot control court schedules or opposing parties actions, we are committed to avoiding unnecessary delays and positioning our clients for resolution as efficiently as the circumstances allow.

During your initial consultation, we can discuss the factors that may affect timing in your specific matter and provide guidance on what to expect moving forward.
