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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Hoa for a formation case?

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

• Does Hoa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do formation cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Hoa take my case if I'm outside Oakland?

  Hoa 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 — Hoa 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 Hoa?

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

• Is Hoa accepting new formation clients right now?

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