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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Ji-In for a elder law case?

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

• Does Ji-In offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do elder law cases in California typically take?

  Simple elder law 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. Ji-In gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Ji-In take my case if I'm outside Encino?

  Ji-In 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 — Ji-In 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 Ji-In?

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

• Is Ji-In accepting new elder law clients right now?

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