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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Cid for a consumer case?

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

• Does Cid offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in New Mexico typically take?

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

• Can Cid take my case if I'm outside Albuquerque?

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

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

• Is Cid accepting new consumer clients right now?

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