• How much does it cost to hire Firasat for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Firasat offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Firasat take my case if I'm outside Newport Beach?

  Firasat 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 — Firasat 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 Firasat?

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

• Is Firasat accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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