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

• How much does it cost to hire Ying for a international case?

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

• Does Ying offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

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

  Ying 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 — Ying 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 Ying?

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

• Is Ying accepting new international clients right now?

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