Lerna's primary office is at 225 W Santa Clara St Ste 1500, San Jose, CA, 95113-1752. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Lerna for a ip case?

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

• Does Lerna offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do ip cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Lerna take my case if I'm outside San Jose?

  Lerna 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 — Lerna 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 Lerna?

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

• Is Lerna accepting new ip clients right now?

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