• How much does it cost to hire Kati for a environmental case?

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

• Does Kati offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do environmental cases in Texas typically take?

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

• Can Kati take my case if I'm outside Fort Worth?

  Kati is licensed in Texas. Matters governed by Texas law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Kati 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 Kati?

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

• Is Kati accepting new environmental clients right now?

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