• How much does it cost to hire Chung for a litigation case?

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

• Does Chung offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Chung take my case if I'm outside Santa Monica?

  Chung 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 — Chung 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 Chung?

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