Larisa's primary office is at 201 Spear Street, Suite 1100, San Francisco, CA, 94105. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Larisa for a patent case?

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

• Does Larisa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do patent cases in California typically take?

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

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

  Larisa 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 — Larisa 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 Larisa?

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

• Is Larisa accepting new patent clients right now?

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