• How much does it cost to hire Chip for a ssd case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Chip walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Chip offer a free consultation?

  Chip charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Chip's office. Some ssd attorneys offer free consults — check Chip's current terms during booking.

• How long do ssd cases in Louisiana typically take?

  Simple ssd matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Chip gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Chip take my case if I'm outside New Orleans?

  Chip is licensed in Louisiana. Matters governed by Louisiana law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Chip will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Chip?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Chip will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Chip accepting new ssd clients right now?

  Chip's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
