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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Mike for a consumer case?

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

• Does Mike offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Mike take my case if I'm outside San Francisco?

  Mike 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 — Mike 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 Mike?

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

• Is Mike accepting new consumer clients right now?

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