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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Hans for a copyright case?

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

• Does Hans offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do copyright cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Hans take my case if I'm outside Los Angeles?

  Hans 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 — Hans 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 Hans?

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

• Is Hans accepting new copyright clients right now?

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