01
First call
10–15 minutes, no charge
A brief intake to understand the matter, confirm there is no conflict, and schedule a consultation. For urgent matters — detentions, imminent removals — counsel will speak with you the same day.
How we work
From a first call to a finished file.
Every matter at Edirmana Law follows the same disciplined arc. The depth of each step changes with the complexity of your case, but the rigour does not.
02
Consultation
Up to one hour, fixed fee
An in-depth conversation with counsel about your facts, options, and realistic timelines. You leave with a clear sense of what is possible and what is not.
03
Retainer & strategy
Written plan and budget
If we agree to work together, you receive a written retainer setting out scope, fees, and the strategy: the strongest pathway, the evidence we will gather, and the milestones along the way.
04
Preparation
Documents, narratives, witnesses
Forms drafted, supporting documents assembled, country-condition evidence compiled, witnesses prepared. We anticipate the officer's or adjudicator's questions before they are asked.
05
Filing & advocacy
Submitted, argued, defended
Your application is filed, your hearing is argued, your case is defended. We respond to procedural fairness letters and requests for additional evidence in real time.
06
Decision & follow-through
Including appeals where warranted
On a positive decision, we shepherd you through landing, PR cards, sponsorship of family, or whatever comes next. On a refusal, we move quickly on reconsideration, appeal, or judicial review.
Fees
Honest about money, from the first conversation.
Most files are quoted on a flat-fee basis, with payment milestones tied to the stages above. Hourly work is available for matters that cannot be reasonably scoped. You will never receive an invoice that surprises you.
