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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Yee for a class action case?

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

• Does Yee offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do class action cases in New York typically take?

  Simple class action 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. Yee gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Yee take my case if I'm outside New York?

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

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

• Is Yee accepting new class action clients right now?

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