• How much does it cost to hire Arkadi for a legal case?

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

• Does Arkadi offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Arkadi take my case if I'm outside West Hollywood?

  Arkadi 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 — Arkadi 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 Arkadi?

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

• Is Arkadi accepting new legal clients right now?

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