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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Tal for a franchise case?

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

• Does Tal offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do franchise cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Tal take my case if I'm outside Encino?

  Tal 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 — Tal 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 Tal?

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

• Is Tal accepting new franchise clients right now?

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