• How much does it cost to hire Richik for a appellate case?

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

• Does Richik offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in Ohio 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. Richik gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Richik take my case if I'm outside Shaker Heights?

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

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

• Is Richik accepting new appellate clients right now?

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