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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Omid for a insurance case?

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

• Does Omid offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do insurance cases in Pennsylvania typically take?

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

• Can Omid take my case if I'm outside Philadelphia?

  Omid is licensed in Pennsylvania. Matters governed by Pennsylvania law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Omid 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 Omid?

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

• Is Omid accepting new insurance clients right now?

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