• How much does it cost to hire Diogenis for a formation case?

• Can Diogenis take my case if I'm outside Lafayette?

  Diogenis 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 — Diogenis 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 Diogenis?

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

• Is Diogenis accepting new formation clients right now?
