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

Golden 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 Golden for a immigration case?

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

• Does Golden offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Golden take my case if I'm outside Phoenix?

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

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

• Is Golden accepting new immigration clients right now?

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