• How much does it cost to hire Hanno for a general case?

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

• Does Hanno offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Hanno take my case if I'm outside San Francisco?

  Hanno 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 — Hanno 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 Hanno?

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

• Is Hanno accepting new general clients right now?

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