• How much does it cost to hire Phillipa for a government case?

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

  Phillipa 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 — Phillipa 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 Phillipa?

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