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

Shifali 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 Shifali for a legal case?

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

• Does Shifali offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Shifali take my case if I'm outside Atlanta?

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

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

• Is Shifali accepting new legal clients right now?

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