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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Kaley for a government case?

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

• Does Kaley offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Kaley take my case if I'm outside San Diego?

  Kaley 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 — Kaley 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 Kaley?

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

• Is Kaley accepting new government clients right now?

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