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

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

• Does Shahriar offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Shahriar take my case if I'm outside Boston?

  Shahriar 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 — Shahriar 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 Shahriar?

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

• Is Shahriar accepting new general clients right now?

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