• How much does it cost to hire Evann for a formation case?

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

• Does Evann offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do formation cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Evann take my case if I'm outside San Rafael?

  Evann 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 — Evann 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 Evann?

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

• Is Evann accepting new formation clients right now?

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