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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Avery for a general case?

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

• Does Avery offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Avery take my case if I'm outside Oakland?

  Avery 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 — Avery 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 Avery?

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

• Is Avery accepting new general clients right now?

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