• How much does it cost to hire Cordell for a general case?

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

• Does Cordell offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Louisiana typically take?

  Simple general 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. Cordell gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Cordell take my case if I'm outside Baton Rouge?

  Cordell 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 — Cordell 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 Cordell?

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

• Is Cordell accepting new general clients right now?

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