• How much does it cost to hire Harry for a civil rights case?

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

• Does Harry offer a free consultation?

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

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

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

• Is Harry accepting new civil rights clients right now?
