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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Leopoldo for a general case?

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

• Does Leopoldo offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Leopoldo take my case if I'm outside Santa Monica?

  Leopoldo 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 — Leopoldo 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 Leopoldo?

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

• Is Leopoldo accepting new general clients right now?

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