• How much does it cost to hire Alyssa for a trusts case?

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

• Does Alyssa offer a free consultation?

  Alyssa charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Alyssa's office. Some trusts attorneys offer free consults — check Alyssa's current terms during booking.

• How long do trusts cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Alyssa take my case if I'm outside San Francisco?

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

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

• Is Alyssa accepting new trusts clients right now?

  Alyssa's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
