Replied last August 29, 2020Dear Reviewer: I do not recall any case that matches this description, but I will say at the outset that if you would like to contact me to discuss this matter I would be happy to discuss it with you. My office number is (504) 368-4101. My email address is [email protected]. However, I must state that I have never conducted a consultation that took less than 5 minutes. My average consultation is usually an hour. It would simply be impossible to even obtain basic contact information from a potential client in a 5 minute meeting, let alone discuss your legal matter and advise you as to my thoughts as to what I could do to assist you, or any potential client with a legal matter.
