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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Scarlett for a citizenship case?

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

• Does Scarlett offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do citizenship cases in Michigan typically take?

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

• Can Scarlett take my case if I'm outside West Bloomfield?

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

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

• Is Scarlett accepting new citizenship clients right now?

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