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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Vladimir for a general case?

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

• Does Vladimir offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Vladimir take my case if I'm outside Oakland?

  Vladimir 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 — Vladimir 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 Vladimir?

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

• Is Vladimir accepting new general clients right now?

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