Tamiza's primary office is at 1271 Washington Ave, San Leandro, CA, 94577. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Tamiza for a contracts case?

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

• Does Tamiza offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do contracts cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Tamiza take my case if I'm outside San Leandro?

  Tamiza 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 — Tamiza 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 Tamiza?

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

• Is Tamiza accepting new contracts clients right now?

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