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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Cynthia for a environmental case?

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

• Does Cynthia offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do environmental cases in New Mexico typically take?

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

• Can Cynthia take my case if I'm outside Santa Fe?

  Cynthia 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 — Cynthia 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 Cynthia?

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

• Is Cynthia accepting new environmental clients right now?

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