Tiara's primary office is at 22525 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA, 90265. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Tiara for a adr case?

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

• Does Tiara offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adr cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Tiara take my case if I'm outside Malibu?

  Tiara 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 — Tiara 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 Tiara?

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

• Is Tiara accepting new adr clients right now?

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