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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Soniya for a aviation case?

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

• Does Soniya offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do aviation cases in California typically take?

  Simple aviation 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. Soniya gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Soniya take my case if I'm outside Irvine?

  Soniya 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 — Soniya 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 Soniya?

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

• Is Soniya accepting new aviation clients right now?

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