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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Karanja for a entertainment case?

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

• Does Karanja offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

  Karanja 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 — Karanja 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 Karanja?

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

• Is Karanja accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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