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

• How much does it cost to hire Matejka for a consumer case?

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

• Does Matejka offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Matejka take my case if I'm outside Sacramento?

  Matejka 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 — Matejka 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 Matejka?

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

• Is Matejka accepting new consumer clients right now?

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