• How much does it cost to hire Maivan for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Maivan offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Maivan take my case if I'm outside Flushing?

  Maivan 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 — Maivan 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 Maivan?

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

• Is Maivan accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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