More details to this question:
I am told by a prospective lawyer her flat fee is between $3500 and $5800 to process and handle medicaid application. To hire her she has now asked for a check for $5800, the maximum flat fee. Do you have any idea why she just asked for the maximum amount? Applicant is 83 years old. My inlaws have very little money as it is. Can you help in any way?

Fees are set by lawyers, based on hourly rates, time involved and complexity of the problem. Maybe after you spoke with her, she determined all of what was involved, and on that basis quoted you the fee. Maybe a second opinion might be worthwhile.
