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

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

• Does Rasheed offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Rasheed take my case if I'm outside Cincinnati?

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

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

• Is Rasheed accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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