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

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

• Does Mario offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Mario take my case if I'm outside Boston?

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

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

• Is Mario accepting new immigration clients right now?

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