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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Vicki for a adoption case?

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

• Does Vicki offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do adoption cases in Louisiana typically take?

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

• Can Vicki take my case if I'm outside Baton Rouge?

  Vicki 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 — Vicki 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 Vicki?

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

• Is Vicki accepting new adoption clients right now?

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