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

• How much does it cost to hire Cyndi for a immigration case?

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

• Does Cyndi offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do immigration cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Cyndi take my case if I'm outside Moraga?

  Cyndi 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 — Cyndi 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 Cyndi?

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

• Is Cyndi accepting new immigration clients right now?

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