In certain situations, where you live far away or are unable to arrive to the office, I may offer a consultation by phone. However, it depends on the situation and it is no problem to ask.
At a consultation, you will sit down with the attorney and discuss your case. The attorney will ask you questions and work to help you decide what legal options exist in your specific situation. Having a consultation is an important time. You should ask the attorney questions and seek legal help, and you should also decide if you want the attorney to represent you. Similarly, the attorney will decide if she can represent you.
At the Law Office of Cynthia Tyler, a consultation will last about 45 minutes, and you will be asked a lot of questions about your life and the legal issues you do know about, but also possibly things that you have not thought about in order to screen for any other legal remedies. At the end, the goal is to make sure that you know your legal rights and have the knowledge to make the best possible decision.
Generally, you should bring all documents that you have that relate to what you intend to ask about at the consultation. For example, if you have a question about immigration law, then you should bring any documents you may have from USCIS or the immigration court.
After a consultation, if the attorney agrees to represent you, you can sign a contract and become a client. The attorney will begin work on your case. If the attorney cannot represent you, ask for a referral to another organization or attorney.
