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

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

• Does Rick offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Rick take my case if I'm outside Los Angeles?

  Rick 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 — Rick 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 Rick?

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

• Is Rick accepting new litigation clients right now?

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