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

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

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

  Brittany 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 — Brittany 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 Brittany?

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