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

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

• Does Tierney offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do asylum cases in Colorado 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. Tierney gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Tierney take my case if I'm outside Boulder?

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

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

• Is Tierney accepting new asylum clients right now?

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