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

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

• Does Randall offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Randall take my case if I'm outside Daly City?

  Randall 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 — Randall 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 Randall?

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

• Is Randall accepting new litigation clients right now?

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