• How much does it cost to hire Crosby for a legal case?

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

• Does Crosby offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do legal cases in Louisiana typically take?

  Simple legal 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. Crosby gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Crosby take my case if I'm outside Port Allen?

  Crosby 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 — Crosby 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 Crosby?

  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. Crosby will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Crosby accepting new legal clients right now?

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