• How much does it cost to hire Yi-Ming for a ip case?

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

• Does Yi-Ming offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do ip cases in District of Columbia typically take?

  Simple ip 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. Yi-Ming gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Yi-Ming take my case if I'm outside Washington?

  Yi-Ming 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 — Yi-Ming 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 Yi-Ming?

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

• Is Yi-Ming accepting new ip clients right now?

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