Stay calm, do not argue with officers, and do not answer questions without speaking to an attorney. Ask to contact a lawyer immediately. Anything you say can be used against you, even if you’re innocent.
Yes. Even a first-offense DWI or misdemeanor can lead to fines, license issues, jail time, and a permanent criminal record. An attorney can challenge the stop, testing, and evidence, which may reduce or dismiss your charges.
Some charges can be expunged after meeting eligibility requirements and waiting periods. We help clients determine whether their record qualifies and guide them through the process.
It depends on whether it is contested or uncontested. No-fault divorces require a separation period (usually 180–365 days depending on children). Contested matters involving custody, property, or support can take longer.
Judges base custody decisions on “the best interest of the child,” including stability, parental involvement, safety, school continuity, and each parent’s ability to meet the child’s needs. Joint custody is common, but every case is unique.
Yes. If there is a material change in circumstances — such as a job change, medical needs, or a shift in custody — support may be increased or decreased.
Call 911, take photos, get medical care, and avoid giving statements to insurance adjusters. Contact an attorney quickly — early investigation can preserve evidence that may determine the outcome of your claim.
Value depends on medical bills, injuries, lost income, future treatment needs, and the impact on your daily life. Big truck accidents and wrongful death cases often involve higher damages. We provide realistic assessments based on your situation.
No. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.
A succession (similar to probate) is the legal process of transferring someone’s property after death. Louisiana has specific rules for both small estates and full judicial successions. We help families determine the right process and complete all required filings.
Yes. A will simplifies the legal steps for your family, prevents confusion, and ensures your wishes are followed. It is valuable even for modest estates.
Simple cases can be completed in a matter of weeks. More complex successions involving multiple heirs, property issues, or disputes may take longer. We guide families through each step to avoid delays.
