Why the Minimum Fee and Down Payment Are Essential

The minimum fee of $6,000 and minimum down payment of $3,000 are set not as arbitrary amounts but as the absolute minimum necessary to ensure we can provide the level of attention, expertise, and dedication your case requires. Criminal defense is complex and time-intensive. Every case involves a significant commitment to investigating facts, analyzing evidence, filing motions, negotiating with prosecutors, and preparing a strategy tailored to your unique circumstances. Anything less than this minimum fee would limit our ability to allocate the time and resources your case deserves, potentially jeopardizing the quality of your defense.

We understand that navigating a legal challenge can be overwhelming, both emotionally and financially. It’s our responsibility to provide representation that upholds your rights and gives you the best possible chance for a favorable outcome. Setting these minimum fees ensures that we can devote the necessary time, expertise, and energy to fight for you, without cutting corners or compromising the quality of your defense.

Ultimately, our priority is to stand by you throughout this process, providing guidance and a strong defense you can rely on. We take this responsibility seriously, and maintaining these fee minimums is one way we honor our commitment to your case and your future.



Feel free to call or text me at 504-247-6411 to briefly discuss your case. During this initial conversation, we’ll go over the general details of your situation to determine if my representation aligns with your needs. If we both agree that I’m the right fit for your case, you’ll then contact my office to schedule an in-person consultation. At that appointment, we’ll discuss your case in greater depth, outline a strategy tailored to your circumstances, and finalize the fee and down payment required to begin representation.
