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

• How much does it cost to hire Nicoleta for a bankruptcy case?

• Does Nicoleta offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

  Nicoleta 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 — Nicoleta 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 Nicoleta?

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

• Is Nicoleta accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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