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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Bela for a internet case?

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

• Does Bela offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do internet cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Bela take my case if I'm outside San Francisco?

  Bela 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 — Bela 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 Bela?

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

• Is Bela accepting new internet clients right now?

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