Working with a new legal attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Ashish usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Ashish discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in legal practice — ask which fits.

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

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

• Does Ashish offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in Virginia 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. Ashish gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Ashish take my case if I'm outside Alexandria?

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

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

• Is Ashish accepting new legal clients right now?

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