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

Yen 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 Yen for a citizenship case?

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

• Does Yen offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do citizenship cases in Washington 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. Yen gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Yen take my case if I'm outside Seattle?

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

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

• Is Yen accepting new citizenship clients right now?

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