Sulay's primary office is at 1150 Connecticut Ave NW Ste 505, Washington, DC, 20036-4138. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Sulay for a patent case?

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

• Does Sulay offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do patent cases in District of Columbia typically take?

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

• Can Sulay take my case if I'm outside Washington?

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

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

• Is Sulay accepting new patent clients right now?

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