• How much does it cost to hire Lakeisha for a general case?

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

• Does Lakeisha offer a free consultation?

• How long do general cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Lakeisha take my case if I'm outside La Canada?

  Lakeisha 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 — Lakeisha 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 Lakeisha?

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