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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Mary for a creditor rights case?

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

• Does Mary offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do creditor rights cases in Louisiana typically take?

  Simple creditor rights 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. Mary gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Mary 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 — Mary 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 Mary?

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

• Is Mary accepting new creditor rights clients right now?

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