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

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

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

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

• Does Royce offer a free consultation?

  Royce charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Royce's office. Some legal attorneys offer free consults — check Royce'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. Royce gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Royce 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 — Royce 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 Royce?

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

• Is Royce accepting new legal clients right now?

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