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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Yixin for a ip case?

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

• Does Yixin offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do ip cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Yixin take my case if I'm outside Palo Alto?

  Yixin 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 — Yixin 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 Yixin?

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

• Is Yixin accepting new ip clients right now?

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