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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jia for a general case?

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

• Does Jia offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in California typically take?

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

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

  Jia 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 — Jia 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 Jia?

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

• Is Jia accepting new general clients right now?

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