## FAQ
### What other kind of cases do you take on?
We also handle personal injury, municipal court, immigration, and family law matters. If you are not sure whether your situation fits, just call. The consultation is free and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

### My situation is pretty unique. Can you actually help me?
We're very confident in our ability to help you, because after 30 years handling real estate, business, and estate matters across the Tri-state area, very little is genuinely new territory, even though every case has its own details. What makes the difference isn't just legal knowledge, it's pattern recognition: knowing what this kind of situation usually turns into, where the traps are, and what the best path forward looks like. That's what you get here.

### How much does this cost?
The first conversation is always free. From there, fees depend on the matter. We are upfront about costs before you commit to anything. You will always know what something costs before you incur it. No surprises, no hidden charges, no bloated invoices for work you did not need.

### Do I really need a lawyer for this?
Sometimes no. If that is the case, we will tell you. But most people who ask this question are already dealing with something where the cost of getting it wrong is significantly higher than the cost of getting it right. A contract with the wrong language. A piece of land with more value than anyone has told you. A business transition with no governance documents. The legal fee is almost never the biggest number in the room.

### How long is this going to take?
It depends on the matter. A residential closing moves on a predictable timeline. A land development project or business transaction can take longer depending on municipalities, approvals, and the other parties involved. What we can promise is that we move things forward. We do not let files sit. We do not disappear and leave you wondering what is happening. You will always know where things stand.

### What happens when I book a consultation?
You fill out a short form so we have the basics before we speak. Then you book a call directly. On that call, Sam will listen to your situation, ask the right questions, and give you an honest read on where you stand and what your options are. No pressure, no obligation. Most people leave the call with more clarity than they have had in months.
