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

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

• Does Dafna offer a free consultation?

  Dafna charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Dafna's office. Some international attorneys offer free consults — check Dafna'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. Dafna gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Dafna take my case if I'm outside Oakland?

  Dafna 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 — Dafna 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 Dafna?

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

• Is Dafna accepting new international clients right now?

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