Why Apricity Law

The Difference Boutique Counsel Makes

01

Local Knowledge That Actually Matters

We know the Truckee-Tahoe market, the local courts, and the community relationships that shape how disputes resolve in the Sierra — knowledge no San Francisco firm can replicate.

02

One Firm. Two States. No Referrals.

Licensed in both California and Nevada, we handle disputes that cross state lines without handing your matter to a stranger — or charging you for the coordination.

03

Your Attorney. Not an Associate.

Your matter is handled by Troy Ortiz directly. You get candid advice and strategy built for your specific situation — not recycled from a form file.

Common Questions

Before You Reach Out

Litigation costs vary widely depending on complexity, the number of parties involved, and whether the matter resolves early or proceeds to trial. We discuss fees openly during the consultation — including hourly rates, retainer structures, and in appropriate cases, contingency arrangements. The $150 consultation is designed to give you a realistic cost picture before you commit to anything.
That's exactly what the consultation is for. We'll review the facts, identify the legal theories available to you, and give you an honest assessment — including risks and realistic outcomes. We don't take cases we don't believe in, and we don't inflate expectations to win a retainer.
Yes. We're licensed in both states and regularly handle disputes involving property or parties on both sides of the state line — particularly common in the Lake Tahoe region. You won't be handed to a Nevada referral attorney or charged a coordination premium.
We'll review your submission and reach out within one business day to confirm your consultation. If your matter is urgent, call (530) 303-7311 directly. The consultation is $150 for 30 minutes — most clients walk away with a clear understanding of their position and next steps.
Yes — and this is critical. Statutes of limitations in California and Nevada range from 2 to 4 years depending on the type of claim, and begin running from the date of harm (or discovery). Missing a filing deadline can permanently bar your claim, regardless of its merits. Contact us sooner rather than later.
