• How much does it cost to hire Kimiyo for a government case?

• Does Kimiyo offer a free consultation?

• How long do government cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Kimiyo take my case if I'm outside Benicia?

  Kimiyo 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 — Kimiyo 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 Kimiyo?

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

• Is Kimiyo accepting new government clients right now?

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