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

• How much does it cost to hire Kapesh for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Kapesh offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Kapesh take my case if I'm outside Irvine?

  Kapesh 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 — Kapesh 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 Kapesh?

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

• Is Kapesh accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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