• How much does it cost to hire Shirley for a medical malpractice case?

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

• Does Shirley offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do medical malpractice cases in Louisiana typically take?

  Simple medical malpractice 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. Shirley gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Shirley 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 — Shirley 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 Shirley?

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

• Is Shirley accepting new medical malpractice clients right now?

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