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

• How much does it cost to hire Merwan for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Merwan offer a free consultation?

• How long do bankruptcy cases in Texas typically take?

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

• Can Merwan take my case if I'm outside El Paso?

  Merwan 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 — Merwan 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 Merwan?

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

• Is Merwan accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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