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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Barzin for a appellate case?

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

• Does Barzin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Barzin take my case if I'm outside San Jose?

  Barzin 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 — Barzin 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 Barzin?

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

• Is Barzin accepting new appellate clients right now?

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