• How much does it cost to hire Marc for a consumer case?

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

• Does Marc offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in Louisiana typically take?

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

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

  Marc 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 — Marc 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 Marc?

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

• Is Marc accepting new consumer clients right now?

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