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

Luce 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 Luce for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Luce offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do civil rights cases in this state 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. Luce gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Luce take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Luce evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Luce's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Luce?

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

• Is Luce accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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