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

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

• Does Nila offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in New York 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. Nila gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Nila take my case if I'm outside New York?

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

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

• Is Nila accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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