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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Nico for a environmental case?

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

• Does Nico offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do environmental cases in Nevada typically take?

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

• Can Nico take my case if I'm outside Reno?

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

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

• Is Nico accepting new environmental clients right now?

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