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

Seina 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 Seina for a legal case?

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

• Does Seina offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in California 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. Seina gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Seina take my case if I'm outside Westlake Village?

  Seina 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 — Seina 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 Seina?

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

• Is Seina accepting new legal clients right now?

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