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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Runako for a general case?

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

• Does Runako offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in District of Columbia typically take?

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

• Can Runako take my case if I'm outside Washington?

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

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

• Is Runako accepting new general clients right now?

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