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

Gopi 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 Gopi for a consumer case?

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

• Does Gopi offer a free consultation?

  Gopi charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Gopi's office. Some consumer attorneys offer free consults — check Gopi'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. Gopi gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Gopi take my case if I'm outside Los Angeles?

  Gopi 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 — Gopi 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 Gopi?

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

• Is Gopi accepting new consumer clients right now?

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