AREAS OF PRACTICE

Personal Injury  

Louisiana law provides that individuals or corporations responsible for causing the accidents are legally responsible to provide financial compensation to the injured person or persons.

As personal injury attorneys, our law offices handle cases involving medical malpractice, automobile accidents, product liability, maritime offshore accidents, and wrongful death for clients who have been maimed, burned, paralyzed, or otherwise injured in accidents.

It is imperative that a client's lifestyle and financial security continue despite an injury and, in many instances, this requires personal injury litigation against the offending party or parties. A client's success in such cases may very well depend upon the effective legal action which a firm is prepared to take on your behalf.

Our law offices have extensive trial experience backed up by a highly competent support staff to assure you are compensated properly for your injury.

Domestic Law

Domestic law includes divorce, child custody, and partition of assets acquired by marriage because divorce is a difficult experience emotionally, legally, and financially. We are sympathetic to the needs of our clients in resolving domestic conflicts. Throughout the three stages of divorce, deliberation, transition, and redirection, your rights will be protected. More importantly, our law office offers the necessary emotional support which is so often desperately needed. Rest assured our legal procedures and litigation are conducted in a fair and compassionate manner.

Bankruptcy

Companies, individuals, and families may find themselves in difficult financial straits because of various economic reasons. Unemployment, accidents, medical expenses, and divorce are but a few examples of things which lead to substantial financial difficulties. Our law offices have extensive experience in personal and business bankruptcy law.

There are types of bankruptcy proceedings in which the individuals are allowed to retain their possessions. The relief granted also stops creditors from proceeding against the individual; i.e. foreclosure on a home, harassing collection phone calls, or collection letters.

First, your situation is analyzed to make a proper determination of the appropriate course of legal action to protect your financial future. These recommendations are based on what is most advantageous for the client and his or her family.
