• How much does it cost to hire Levon for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Levon offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do civil rights cases in California typically take?

  Simple civil rights 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. Levon gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Levon take my case if I'm outside Torrance?

  Levon 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 — Levon 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 Levon?

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

• Is Levon accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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