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

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

• Does Karun offer a free consultation?

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

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

  Karun 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 — Karun 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 Karun?

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

• Is Karun accepting new government clients right now?

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