• How much does it cost to hire Audra for a appellate case?

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

• Does Audra offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Audra take my case if I'm outside Palo Alto?

  Audra 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 — Audra 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 Audra?

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

• Is Audra accepting new appellate clients right now?

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