Estate Planning
Our estate planning services help clients create legally sound wills, trusts, and advance directives to protect assets and ensure their wishes are honored. We guide clients through complex decisions about property distribution, child guardianship, and tax planning. With decades of experience, we provide tailored solutions that address individual family needs and financial circumstances while ensuring compliance with Louisiana law.
Family Law
We handle all aspects of family law including divorce, child custody, spousal support, and adoption. Our approach focuses on protecting parental rights while minimizing conflict through mediation or litigation when necessary. With over 25 years of experience in Louisiana courts, we help clients navigate emotionally challenging situations while advocating for fair outcomes in custody arrangements, property division, and support agreements.
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice covers felony and misdemeanor charges including DUI, drug offenses, and juvenile crimes. We provide aggressive representation in state and federal courts while explaining legal options clearly to clients. With extensive trial experience since 1984, we challenge evidence, negotiate plea bargains when appropriate, and work to minimize the long-term consequences of criminal charges on clients' personal and professional lives.
Social Security Disability
We assist clients with initial applications and appeals for Social Security Disability benefits, navigating the complex administrative process on their behalf. Our experience includes handling technical denials and presenting medical evidence to support claims for physical and mental impairments. We help clients understand eligibility requirements and work to secure benefits for conditions ranging from chronic illnesses to severe disabilities that prevent gainful employment.
