Working with a new employment contracts attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Ricardo usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Ricardo discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in employment contracts practice — ask which fits.

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

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

• Does Ricardo offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do employment contracts cases in Louisiana typically take?

  Simple employment contracts 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. Ricardo gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Ricardo 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 — Ricardo 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 Ricardo?

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

• Is Ricardo accepting new employment contracts clients right now?

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