Working with a new criminal defense attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Emily usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Emily discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in criminal defense practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Emily for a criminal defense case?

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

• Does Emily offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do criminal defense cases in Louisiana typically take?

  Simple criminal defense 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. Emily gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Emily take my case if I'm outside Baton Rouge?

  Emily 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 — Emily 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 Emily?

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

• Is Emily accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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