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

Nitya 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 Nitya for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Nitya offer a free consultation?

  Nitya charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Nitya's office. Some civil rights attorneys offer free consults — check Nitya'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. Nitya gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Nitya evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Nitya'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 Nitya?

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

• Is Nitya accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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