• How much does it cost to hire Deena for a government case?

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

• Does Deena offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in California typically take?

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

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

  Deena 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 — Deena 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 Deena?

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

• Is Deena accepting new government clients right now?

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