Question 1

How do I schedule a consultation?

Accepted Answer

Use our contact page to submit a confidential intake request, or call our office directly. Our intake team reviews each inquiry and an attorney follows up to schedule a consultation suited to your matter.

Question 2

Is the first consultation confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All communications with our attorneys are protected by attorney-client confidentiality, even during an initial consultation before you have hired the firm. You can speak openly about your situation.

Question 3

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Accepted Answer

Bring a photo ID, a short timeline of events, contact information for everyone involved, and any relevant documents such as contracts, medical records, or court filings. A list of your questions also helps you make the most of the meeting.

Question 4

How are fees structured?

Accepted Answer

We offer several arrangements: hourly billing for litigation and complex matters, flat fees for defined transactions like contract drafting and estate planning, and contingency for qualifying personal injury claims. We explain the right fit during your consultation.

Question 5

Do you offer free consultations?

Accepted Answer

Personal injury consultations are free, and qualifying injury matters are handled on contingency. For other matters, consultation terms vary and are explained before your meeting so there are no surprises.

Question 6

Will I receive detailed billing statements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hourly matters include itemized monthly statements showing the work performed, time spent, and costs incurred, so you always know what you are being charged for.

Question 7

Will I work directly with an attorney?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You work directly with the attorney handling your matter, with clear communication from first consultation through resolution — not a case manager or call center.

Question 8

How often will I hear about my case?

Accepted Answer

We provide regular status updates and are available to answer your questions as they arise. You will always know where your matter stands and what happens next.

Question 9

What geographic area do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We represent clients across the state from our San Francisco office. For matters in other jurisdictions, we coordinate with trusted local counsel where needed.
