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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Mehmet for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Mehmet offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do civil rights cases in Minnesota typically take?

  Simple civil rights 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. Mehmet gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Mehmet take my case if I'm outside St Paul?

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

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

• Is Mehmet accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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