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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Bren for a class action case?

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

• Does Bren offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do class action cases in California typically take?

  Simple class action 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. Bren gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Bren take my case if I'm outside Irvine?

  Bren 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 — Bren 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 Bren?

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

• Is Bren accepting new class action clients right now?

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