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

• How much does it cost to hire Vidhya for a energy case?

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

• Does Vidhya offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do energy cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Vidhya take my case if I'm outside San Francisco?

  Vidhya 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 — Vidhya 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 Vidhya?

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

• Is Vidhya accepting new energy clients right now?

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