Presentations & Publications
Are our communications privileged?

Yes. Any communications with our attorneys, including discussions we may have with you before you decide to hire us, are protected by the attorney-client privilege. You should comfortable telling us all of the facts of your case so that we can best advise you and protect your interests from the outset.

How do you charge for your legal services?

To make your relationship with us financially viable, we offer flexible fee structures to ensure affordability. We offer flat fee, capped fee, and contingency fee arrangements.  We also offer a blended fee model combining traditional billable hours but with a capped total fee to ensure that the client is never surprised by unexpected fees for which he or she did not budget.  For matters handled on a contingency fee basis, the client pays nothing unless money is recovered through a settlement or a judgment.  If and when there is a recovery, we will take a percentage of that recovery as the contingent fee.  The client also agrees to reimburse the firm for any litigation costs incurred during the case.  Those costs may include deposition fees, filing fees, investigation costs, and expert costs.  But, again, if there is no recovery, then the client is not responsible for any of those costs.  And, if you decide that a traditional billable hour approach is the best method for you, you can take comfort in knowing that our rates are some of the most affordable and competitive in the Gulf South. Quite simply, we will do our best to work with you to ensure that you receive top-notch legal guidance and services without spending a fortune.

My past lawyers never call me back. Are you different?

As part of our commitment to create a true partnership with each of our clients, we believe in being accessible and within reach of our clients 24/7. We make it my personal duty to return calls and correspondence promptly, while ensuring each and every client knows they are very important to us. Our clients will never be surprised about the status of their case.  We maintain a manageable caseload at all times in an effort to provide a higher standard of personalized service with in-depth research and due diligence towards educated, informed decisions. We work closely with all clients to provide honest, friendly service and an overall positive legal experience with excellent results, no matter what the nature of your case may be.
