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

Shilpa discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in health care practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Shilpa for a health care case?

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

• Does Shilpa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do health care cases in California typically take?

  Simple health care 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. Shilpa gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Shilpa take my case if I'm outside Palo Alto?

  Shilpa 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 — Shilpa 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 Shilpa?

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

• Is Shilpa accepting new health care clients right now?

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