• How much does it cost to hire Laily for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Laily offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Laily take my case if I'm outside Irvine?

  Laily 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 — Laily 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 Laily?

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

• Is Laily accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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