• How much does it cost to hire Hatef for a real estate case?

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

• Does Hatef offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do real estate cases in California typically take?

  Simple real estate 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. Hatef gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Hatef 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 — Hatef 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 Hatef?

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

• Is Hatef accepting new real estate clients right now?

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