You control your closing choices. When talking to your lender or realtor for your purchase or refinance, ask for us as your real estate closing attorney. Our team includes multiple title attorneys, abstractors, experienced closers, notaries and licensed title insurance agents. Over the years, we have established relationships with both local banks and national mortgage companies. Because we have also litigated numerous types of real estate cases, we thoroughly understand how to protect your title.

To execute your estate plan, we will guide you through every step of the process. To accomplish your goals, we will draft instruments to allow you to control the disposition of your estate after your death and to protect your interests while you are still alive. Specifically, we will carefully write necessary documents, such as wills, trusts, living wills and powers of attorney. We will tailor these instruments to meet your planning needs.

After your loved one dies, a succession might be necessary. Louisiana law requires a special probate procedure to transfer certain types of property, such as real estate and non-beneficiary investment accounts. Additionally, unexpected issues sometimes arise; we can provide critical advice.

An accident disrupts your life. While we cannot reverse the chain of events that led to your injury, we will strive to ensure that you are fairly compensated. We will assume the responsibility of advancing your claim by negotiating with your insurance adjuster and if necessary, filing suit and taking your case to trial. If you receive injuries from an accident, call us for a consultation.

We not only close it — we litigate it, too. We handle boundary disputes, nuisance claims, curative work, partitions, and other actions determining property ownership. In addition, we also handle contested estates and successions.

A properly drafted contract is your first line of protection. You need a document that, if necessary, will hold up in court. Over the decades, we’ve drafted dozens of different types of contracts, including those that can form your business. When forming a limited liability company or a corporation, precise wording and planning are essential for your business’ success.
