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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Hemi for a health care case?

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

• Does Hemi offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do health care cases in District of Columbia typically take?

  Simple health care 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. Hemi gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Hemi take my case if I'm outside Washington?

  Hemi is licensed in District of Columbia. Matters governed by District of Columbia law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Hemi 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 Hemi?

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

• Is Hemi accepting new health care clients right now?

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