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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Rian for a environmental case?

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

• Does Rian offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do environmental cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Rian take my case if I'm outside Davis?

  Rian 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 — Rian 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 Rian?

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

• Is Rian accepting new environmental clients right now?

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