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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Amity for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Amity offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do civil rights cases in Washington typically take?

  Simple civil rights 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. Amity gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Amity take my case if I'm outside Seattle?

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

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

• Is Amity accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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