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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Sanjay for a asylum case?

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

• Does Sanjay offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do asylum cases in Massachusetts typically take?

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

• Can Sanjay take my case if I'm outside Lowell?

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

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

• Is Sanjay accepting new asylum clients right now?

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