• How much does it cost to hire Akihiko for a business case?

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

• Does Akihiko offer a free consultation?

• How long do business cases in Ohio typically take?

  Simple business 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. Akihiko gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Akihiko take my case if I'm outside Columbus?

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

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