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

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

• Does Wiley offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Wiley take my case if I'm outside Gretna?

  Wiley 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 — Wiley 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 Wiley?

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