• How much does it cost to hire Sharmine for a military case?

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

• Does Sharmine offer a free consultation?

• How long do military cases in New York typically take?

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

• Can Sharmine take my case if I'm outside Massapequa?

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

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

• Is Sharmine accepting new military clients right now?

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