• How much does it cost to hire Anil for a immigration case?

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

• Does Anil offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do immigration cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Anil take my case if I'm outside New York?

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

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

• Is Anil accepting new immigration clients right now?

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