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

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

• Does Mingzi offer a free consultation?

  Mingzi charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Mingzi's office. Some general attorneys offer free consults — check Mingzi'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. Mingzi gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Mingzi 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 — Mingzi 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 Mingzi?

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

• Is Mingzi accepting new general clients right now?

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