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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Kerstyn for a environmental case?

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

• Does Kerstyn offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do environmental cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Kerstyn take my case if I'm outside East Palo Alto?

  Kerstyn 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 — Kerstyn 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 Kerstyn?

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

• Is Kerstyn accepting new environmental clients right now?

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