• How much does it cost to hire Ok-Hee for a appellate case?

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

• Does Ok-Hee offer a free consultation?

• How long do appellate cases in California typically take?

  Simple appellate 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. Ok-Hee gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Ok-Hee take my case if I'm outside Oakland?

  Ok-Hee 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 — Ok-Hee 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 Ok-Hee?

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

• Is Ok-Hee accepting new appellate clients right now?

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