• How much does it cost to hire Tucker for a legal case?

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

• Does Tucker offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Tucker take my case if I'm outside Santa Ana?

  Tucker 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 — Tucker 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 Tucker?

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

• Is Tucker accepting new legal clients right now?

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