• How much does it cost to hire Leif for a tax case?

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

• Does Leif offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do tax cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Leif take my case if I'm outside Los Gatos?

  Leif 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 — Leif 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 Leif?

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

• Is Leif accepting new tax clients right now?

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