• How much does it cost to hire Sive for a m&a case?

• How long do m&a cases in this state typically take?

• Can Sive take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Sive evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Sive's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Sive?

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