- Then, either follow the prompts on those pages, or fill out a general contact form to let us know how we can help you.
A NEW KIND OF PARTNERSHIP
Make no mistake — choosing a representative and partner in success is a big deal.
When hiring an attorney, learning all you can about the lawyers, their staff and what they worked on prior to your new attorney/client relationship is important.
When working with a coach, it’s just as important to feel comfortable.
However you want to work with us, we want you to be informed, and we want you to choose us because you trust us.
Rule 1.18 of the Rules of Professional Conduct specifically lays out the duties of attorneys regarding prospective clients. In fact, the entire set of Rules outlines the guidelines of the attorney/client relationship. We invite you to review them and to understand our commitment to your representation. Visit the Louisiana State Bar Association’s “Public Resources” for more information.
Allow us to serve you, and to treat you with respect — just like you deserve.
FLEXIBLE LEGAL BILLING
In a big law firm, you (and your bill for legal services) might get lost in the fray, but not here.
- We resolve to be fair and clear in our billing
- We will form a written agreement before we start working with you
- We will periodically inform you of your balance, our work and the charges we may have had since the last invoice
We understand (especially in these hard economic times) that sometimes we need alternatives to the “regular hourly billing” so typical of those big firms. We offer a variety of billing methods and options for payment, negotiated with you on a case-by-case basis. We have set aside a limited number of “Sliding Scale” clients (based on income and situation, with proof required), and repeat clients may be offered our “Name Your Price” billing. The requirement to pay costs and expenses varies from client to client, thus, we do all we can to make our relationship with you as easy and effective as possible.
In addition to hourly and flat fees for specific services, we also offer monthly packages, where you pay a flat amount per month for a certain level of services. We’ll give you all your options when we meet.
Our mission is to keep you informed and to be the best legal partner possible.
MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT ANY TIME, ANY DAY
Online account management is just one more way our firm strives to keep you informed and to help make your relationship with us as easy as possible. We offer flexible payment options and even take credit cards!
