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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Nora for a asylum case?

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

• Does Nora offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do asylum cases in California typically take?

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

• Can Nora take my case if I'm outside San Diego?

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

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

• Is Nora accepting new asylum clients right now?

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