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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Szu-Pei for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Szu-Pei offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in California typically take?

  Simple bankruptcy 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. Szu-Pei gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Szu-Pei take my case if I'm outside Glendale?

  Szu-Pei 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 — Szu-Pei 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 Szu-Pei?

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

• Is Szu-Pei accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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