Questions

Straight answers.

How much does a litigation lawyer cost in Southern California?

Most firms bill $300–$750 per hour with an open-ended total. We price litigation by phase — demand letter, pleadings, discovery, motions, trial — each a flat fee agreed in writing before that phase begins.

Do I have to go to trial?

Most cases settle. But settlements are better when the other side knows you're ready for trial — that's why we prepare every case as if it's going, from day one.

What if I've been sued and can't afford Big Law?

That's exactly who we built this firm for. The free case review gives you honest odds and a fixed price for your defense before you commit to anything.

How long does a civil lawsuit take in California?

Simple cases settle in months; contested cases typically run 12–24 months to trial in Southern California courts. Phase pricing means you only ever pay for the phase you're in.
