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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Alexandra for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Alexandra offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do civil rights cases in New Mexico typically take?

  Simple civil rights 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. Alexandra gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Alexandra 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 — Alexandra 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 Alexandra?

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

• Is Alexandra accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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