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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Avi for a consumer case?

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

• Does Avi offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Avi take my case if I'm outside Melville?

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

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

• Is Avi accepting new consumer clients right now?

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