Sahel's primary office is at 330 N. Brand Blvd., Ste. 300, Glendale, CA, 91203. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Sahel for a formation case?

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

• Does Sahel offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do formation cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Sahel take my case if I'm outside Glendale?

  Sahel 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 — Sahel 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 Sahel?

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

• Is Sahel accepting new formation clients right now?

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