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

Sharif 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 Sharif for a general case?

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

• Does Sharif offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Sharif take my case if I'm outside Phoenix?

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

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

• Is Sharif accepting new general clients right now?

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