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

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

• Does Rasheedah offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Rasheedah take my case if I'm outside Oakland?

  Rasheedah 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 — Rasheedah 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 Rasheedah?

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

• Is Rasheedah accepting new government clients right now?

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