• How much does it cost to hire Raymond for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Raymond offer a free consultation?

• How long do civil rights cases in Indiana typically take?

  Simple civil rights 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. Raymond gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Raymond take my case if I'm outside Indianapolis?

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

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

• Is Raymond accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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