• How much does it cost to hire Kayla for a employment case?

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

• Does Kayla offer a free consultation?

• Can Kayla take my case if I'm outside New Orleans?

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