• How much does it cost to hire Miriam for a litigation case?

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

• Does Miriam offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in California typically take?

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

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

  Miriam 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 — Miriam 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 Miriam?

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