• How much does it cost to hire Lyndon for a business case?

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

• Does Lyndon offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Lyndon take my case if I'm outside Palo Alto?

  Lyndon 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 — Lyndon 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 Lyndon?

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

• Is Lyndon accepting new business clients right now?

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