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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Mariza for a government case?

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

• Does Mariza offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Texas typically take?

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

• Can Mariza take my case if I'm outside Austin?

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

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

• Is Mariza accepting new government clients right now?

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