Luisa's primary office is at 3 Lagoon Dr Ste 280, Redwood City, CA, 94065-5158. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Luisa for a energy case?

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

• Does Luisa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do energy cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Luisa take my case if I'm outside Redwood City?

  Luisa 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 — Luisa 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 Luisa?

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

• Is Luisa accepting new energy clients right now?

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