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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Christian for a international case?

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

• Does Christian offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do international cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Christian take my case if I'm outside Encinitas?

  Christian 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 — Christian 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 Christian?

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

• Is Christian accepting new international clients right now?

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