Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you offer virtual consultations?
A: Yes. I primarily operate a virtual law office and most consultations and client discussions are conducted via video calls for convenience. In-person client meetings are available by appointment.
Q: What areas do you serve?
A: I live in and work out of Kingwood and generally provide in-person support throughout the greater Houston metro area including Galveston, Montgomery, Walker, Liberty, and Fort Bend Counties. For immigration matters I can support most DHS or immigration court locations throughout the country that utilize virtual representation.
Q: What is your initial consultation policy?
A: Mr. Colby offers an Immigration Status & Strategy Consultation as a limited legal service focused on evaluating your immigration matter and discussing available legal options.
If, after the consultation, ongoing legal representation is appropriate and you choose to proceed, the attorney will explain the recommended scope of services and fees, provide a written engagement agreement for your review and signature, and apply the consultation fee toward the legal fees for full representation. Representation begins only once both parties have signed the engagement agreement.
Q: Do you offer flexible payment plans?
A: Yes. Depending on the circumstances of your case hourly, flat-rate, and flexible payment plans can be available which will be discussed during the consultation.
Q: Someone I know has been detained by immigration authorities. Can you meet with them?
A. Yes. Attorney Hayden Colby provides consultations for individuals detained by U.S. immigration authorities and their families, employers, or other sponsors seeking to understand available legal options.
Because detention facilities control attorney visitation procedures and scheduling, an initial consultation request does not guarantee an immediate detention facility visit. After the consultation request is received and payment arrangements are completed, the office will gather necessary information and coordinate the appropriate method of communication with the detained individual. Visits may either be in-person or virtual depending on the facility’s location, procedures and availability of the attorney.
