Yes. Any communications with our attorneys, including discussions we may have with you before you decide to hire us, are protected by the attorney-client privilege. You should comfortable telling us all of the facts of your case so that we can best advise you and protect your interests from the outset.
To make your relationship with us financially viable, we offer flexible fee structures to ensure affordability. We offer flat fee, capped fee, and contingency fee arrangements. We also offer a blended fee model combining traditional billable hours but with a capped total fee to ensure that the client is never surprised by unexpected fees for which he or she did not budget. For matters handled on a contingency fee basis, the client pays nothing unless money is recovered through a settlement or a judgment. If and when there is a recovery, we will take a percentage of that recovery as the contingent fee. The client also agrees to reimburse the firm for any litigation costs incurred during the case. Those costs may include deposition fees, filing fees, investigation costs, and expert costs. But, again, if there is no recovery, then the client is not responsible for any of those costs. And, if you decide that a traditional billable hour approach is the best method for you, you can take comfort in knowing that our rates are some of the most affordable and competitive in the Gulf South. Quite simply, we will do our best to work with you to ensure that you receive top-notch legal guidance and services without spending a fortune.
As part of our commitment to create a true partnership with each of our clients, we believe in being accessible and within reach of our clients 24/7.
