• How much does it cost to hire Morae for a government case?

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

• Does Morae offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Morae take my case if I'm outside Stanford?

  Morae 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 — Morae 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 Morae?

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

• Is Morae accepting new government clients right now?

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