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

• How much does it cost to hire Yi-Chia for a legal case?

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

• Does Yi-Chia offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Yi-Chia take my case if I'm outside Richmond?

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

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

• Is Yi-Chia accepting new legal clients right now?

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