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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Medum for a ip case?

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

• Does Medum offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do ip cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Medum take my case if I'm outside Palo Alto?

  Medum 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 — Medum 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 Medum?

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

• Is Medum accepting new ip clients right now?

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