• How much does it cost to hire Hector for a asylum case?

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

• Does Hector offer a free consultation?

• Can Hector take my case if I'm outside Fredericksburg?

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Hector?

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

• Is Hector accepting new asylum clients right now?

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