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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Shi for a copyright case?

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

• Does Shi offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do copyright cases in Washington typically take?

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

• Can Shi take my case if I'm outside Seattle?

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

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

• Is Shi accepting new copyright clients right now?

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