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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Kyde for a government case?

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

• Does Kyde offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

• Can Kyde take my case if I'm outside White Plains?

  Kyde 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 — Kyde 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 Kyde?

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

• Is Kyde accepting new government clients right now?

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