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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Susanne for a citizenship case?

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

• Does Susanne offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do citizenship cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Susanne take my case if I'm outside Los Angeles?

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

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

• Is Susanne accepting new citizenship clients right now?

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