• How much does it cost to hire Njeri for a legal case?

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

• Does Njeri offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in Maryland typically take?

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

• Can Njeri take my case if I'm outside Silver Spring?

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

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

• Is Njeri accepting new legal clients right now?

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