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

Njeri 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 Njeri for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Njeri offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do civil rights cases in District of Columbia 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. Njeri gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Njeri take my case if I'm outside Washington?

  Njeri is licensed in District of Columbia. Matters governed by District of Columbia law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Njeri 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 Njeri?

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

• Is Njeri accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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