• How much does it cost to hire Akili for a employment case?

• Does Akili offer a free consultation?

• How long do employment cases in California typically take?

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

  Akili 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 — Akili 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 Akili?

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