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

Tuna 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 Tuna for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Tuna offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in District of Columbia 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. Tuna gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Tuna take my case if I'm outside Washington?

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

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

• Is Tuna accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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