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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jonas for a environmental case?

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

• Does Jonas offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

• Can Jonas take my case if I'm outside Santa Fe?

  Jonas 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 — Jonas 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 Jonas?

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

• Is Jonas accepting new environmental clients right now?

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