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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Rupa for a general case?

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

• Does Rupa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Rupa take my case if I'm outside Mountain View?

  Rupa 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 — Rupa 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 Rupa?

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

• Is Rupa accepting new general clients right now?

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