Common Legal Questions
Get answers about our practice areas
During your initial consultation, we'll carefully evaluate your legal needs and match you with the attorney in our firm whose expertise best fits your situation. Many complex cases benefit from our team-based approach, where specialists collaborate across practice areas.
Our fee arrangements vary by practice area:
- Hourly rates: Common for business law, litigation (typically $250-$450/hr)
- Flat fees: Often used for immigration petitions, real estate closings
- Contingency fees: Personal injury and certain employment cases (typically 33-40%)
- Retainers: Common for ongoing corporate counsel services
We're transparent about costs and will explain all fee agreements in writing before beginning work.
The timeline varies based on complexity:
- Uncontested divorce: 2-3 months if all agreements are in place
- Contested divorce: 6-18 months depending on disputes
- High-conflict cases: Potentially 2+ years if going to trial
We offer mediation services that can significantly reduce both the timeline and emotional toll of divorce proceedings.
No. You have the constitutional right to remain silent and to have an attorney present during any police questioning. Even if you believe you're innocent, anything you say can be used against you. We strongly advise clients to politely decline interviews until consulting with legal counsel. Our criminal defense team is available 24/7 for emergencies.
The optimal structure depends on several factors:
| Structure | Best For | Liability | Tax Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| LLC | Most small businesses | Limited | Pass-through |
| S-Corp | Profitable businesses with employees | Limited | Pass-through |
| C-Corp | Companies seeking investors | Limited | Corporate |
We offer comprehensive entity selection consultations to analyze your specific needs.
Key lease provisions to scrutinize include:
- Term length and renewal options
- Rent escalations and operating expense pass-throughs
- Use restrictions and exclusivity clauses
- Maintenance responsibilities (CAM charges)
- Personal guarantees requirements
- Sublease/assignment rights
- Termination conditions
Our real estate team typically saves clients 3-5× our fee in negotiated lease improvements.
Processing times vary dramatically:
- Immediate relatives (spouses/parents of citizens): 12-24 months
- Family preference categories: 2-10+ years depending on country
- Employment-based: 1-3 years for most categories
- EB-5 investors: Currently 5+ years due to backlogs
We stay current with USCIS processing times and can advise on potential premium processing options where available.
Consider these factors when evaluating settlement:
- Strength of evidence: How persuasive are your proofs?
- Cost: Trials often cost 3-5× more than settlements
- Time: Courts typically take 1-3 years to reach trial
- Risk tolerance: Juries can be unpredictable
- Privacy: Settlements often include confidentiality
We provide detailed case evaluations to help clients make informed decisions about when to settle.
