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

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

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

• Does Waverly offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do civil rights cases in Tennessee 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. Waverly gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Waverly take my case if I'm outside Nashville?

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

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

• Is Waverly accepting new civil rights clients right now?

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