• How much does it cost to hire Karin for a litigation case?

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

• Can Karin take my case if I'm outside Beverly Hills?

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Karin?

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