# Frequently asked questions > Questions The Tadda Law Firm is actually asked, answered from the firm’s own practice rather than from generic legal boilerplate. Canonical page: https://www.taddalaw.com/faqs/ ## Talking to the firm ### What does a consultation cost? Nothing. Free same-day consultations, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The consultation is one on one with at least one attorney. ### Who will actually handle my case? An attorney. The lawyers you see on this website and in the firm’s advertising are the people involved in the representation, and there are no legal assistants working your file in place of a lawyer. The attorney who meets you is the one who reads the records and speaks to the insurance adjuster. ### What are the office hours? Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The office is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Free same-day consultations are available during business hours at 4660 O'Neal Lane, Suite A in Baton Rouge. ### Can I text instead of calling? Yes. (225) 756-0007 accepts calls and texts. There is also a toll free line at (800) 487-5562 and email at info@taddalaw.com. ### How quickly will someone get back to me? The office aims to reach you the same day during business hours. Erik Tadda works through his active files regularly and calls clients rather than having someone call on his behalf. ### What should I bring to the first meeting? Whatever you have, and nothing is required to start. The crash or incident report if there is one, photographs, the other party’s insurance details, your own insurance policy, and the names of the doctors you have seen. For a work injury, bring your recent pay records, because they are how the weekly compensation rate gets checked. ## Fees and money ### How does the firm get paid? Personal injury work is handled on a contingency basis, which means the fee comes out of a recovery rather than out of pocket at the start. The specific terms are explained in writing before anything is signed, and the consultation itself is free either way. ### What happens to my medical bills while the case is going? They are watched closely. On a minimum limits policy, medical expenses can quietly consume the recovery the client was meant to receive, so the firm tracks them as they accumulate and works to reduce what has to be paid back out of a settlement. ## The firm ### What kinds of cases does the firm take? Car and truck collisions, workers’ compensation claims, and other personal injury matters including premises liability and wrongful death. Erik Tadda describes the practice plainly: car wrecks, workers’ compensation, and slip and fall cases where liability is clear. Each kind of claim has its own page with the detail. ### Does the firm take every case? No. Where the at fault party has no insurance and no assets, a judgment can be uncollectable and pursuing it costs the client money to reach nothing. The firm would rather say so at the first meeting than two years later. ### How long has the firm been in practice? The Tadda Law Firm was organized as a Louisiana limited liability company in December 2006. Erik Tadda has been licensed in Louisiana since 1991 and began working in a personal injury attorney’s office at fifteen. ### Who are the attorneys? Erik M. Tadda, the managing attorney, works with Rick Tadda, Jeremy Steven Hader, and Sarah Donnel Tormey. All four are admitted in Louisiana. Sarah worked for the firm during undergraduate study and returned after law school, and Jeremy clerked here during law school and stayed. ### What areas does the firm serve? Baton Rouge and the communities east of it. The office is on O'Neal Lane, the first exit into the city from the east, and much of the work arrives from along the I-12 corridor toward Hammond and up the I-55 corridor, across East Baton Rouge, Livingston, Tangipahoa, Ascension, and West Baton Rouge parishes. ### Is there more than one office? No. There is one office, at 4660 O'Neal Lane, Suite A in Baton Rouge. That is deliberate. It is a small practice where the attorneys handle the files themselves. ## Contact - Firm: The Tadda Law Firm - Address: 4660 O'Neal Lane, Suite A, Baton Rouge, LA 70817 - Phone: (225) 756-0007 (accepts calls and texts) - Toll free: (800) 487-5562 - Email: info@taddalaw.com - Hours: Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00.
