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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Rikin for a legal case?

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

• Does Rikin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in Texas typically take?

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

• Can Rikin take my case if I'm outside Mcallen?

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

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

• Is Rikin accepting new legal clients right now?

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