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

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

• Does Dena offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

  Dena 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 — Dena 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 Dena?

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