Nothing!

Our attorney-client agreements can be on a contingency basis, hourly rates, or a blend. But if we take your case as a contingency, there are no out-of-pocket costs to you.

Each case is unique in how long it takes to get resolved, but it is rare for civil rights cases to conclude in less than a year. More complicated cases (e.g. police shootings) tend to be more involved, and generally take longer than a year.
