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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Tonia for a education case?

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

• Does Tonia offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do education cases in Louisiana typically take?

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

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

  Tonia 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 — Tonia 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 Tonia?

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

• Is Tonia accepting new education clients right now?

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