Alka's primary office is at Treat Towers, 1255 Treat Blvd., Ste. 600, Walnut Creek, CA, 94597. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Alka for a consumer case?

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

• Does Alka offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Alka take my case if I'm outside Walnut Creek?

  Alka 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 — Alka 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 Alka?

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

• Is Alka accepting new consumer clients right now?

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