Yes. We offer free 15-minute initial consultations to help determine whether we're the right fit for your matter and to give you a clearer sense of your rights and possible outcomes before engaging us.
As a boutique firm, we provide direct attorney access, personalized service, and flexible pricing. Our fee arrangements include up-front, pay-as-you-go, deferred, and contingency-based options depending on the matter. We focus on accessibility and affordability without compromising on quality. We are also focused on utilizing technology to provide convenience to our clients whenever possible. For example, we recently became qualified as Remote Online Notaries so that we can help you execute many of your legal documents over the internet (not including estate plans, real estate transfers, or other prohibited acts), rather than requiring an in-person meeting.
Our main office is at 318 Harrison Avenue in Lakeview, New Orleans, just off the West End/Pontchartrain Boulevard exit on I-10. We also maintain conference room access in downtown New Orleans for clients who prefer to meet in the CBD, and we offer fully remote meetings for many of our practice areas.
Yes. We regularly serve clients throughout Louisiana and frequently work with out-of-state attorneys and clients who need Louisiana counsel for successions, including ancillary successions, partitions, real estate transfers, and tort matters. We also assist businesses throughout the United States, and internationally, as general counsel while collaborating with local counsel on jurisdiction-specific issues.
You can reach us through our contact page, by phone, or by email to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We respond promptly and can accommodate in-person, virtual, or remote-notary meetings depending on your needs.
