Po-Lin's primary office is at 186 Alewife Brook Pkwy # 1027, Cambridge, MA, 02138-1121. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Po-Lin for a business case?

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

• Does Po-Lin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in Massachusetts typically take?

  Simple business 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. Po-Lin gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Po-Lin take my case if I'm outside Cambridge?

  Po-Lin is licensed in Massachusetts. Matters governed by Massachusetts law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Po-Lin 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 Po-Lin?

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

• Is Po-Lin accepting new business clients right now?

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