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

Sheva 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 Sheva for a legal case?

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

• Does Sheva offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Sheva take my case if I'm outside Baltimore?

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

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

• Is Sheva accepting new legal clients right now?

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