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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Sheila for a animal law case?

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

• Does Sheila offer a free consultation?

• How long do animal law cases in New Mexico typically take?

  Simple animal law 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. Sheila gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Sheila take my case if I'm outside Albuquerque?

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

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

• Is Sheila accepting new animal law clients right now?

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