Family Law

• Adoption

Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Louisiana’s DUI statute does not apply to bicyclists (only to operators of motor vehicles), but an impaired bicyclist may be charged with public intoxication.
• Wrongful Death
  As you grieve your loss and find the strength to live without your loved one, you may be feeling pressured by insurance companies to settle any legal claim you have around your loss. Before you sign anything, you owe it to yourself and to your family to talk with a caring, compassionate team of attorneys experienced in Louisiana wrongful death law. No amount of money can repair the loss or take away your pain. But one of the best ways to seek justice and make sure no other family goes through what you have is to hold the party at fault financially responsible.
• Traffic Violations
  Excessive speed is dangerous for all road users, but particularly for motorcyclists. It reduces reaction time and can lead to loss of control, especially on New Orleans’ winding and narrow streets. Speeding bikers have a higher chance of getting into an accident, and the severity of injuries is higher.
• Misdemeanors
• Hit and Run
  However, victims have rights and options. In this article, we’ll guide you through the crucial steps to take immediately after a hit-and-run in a parking garage, explain how to protect your legal interests and discuss the potential for compensation. Our experienced team is here to help you navigate this difficult situation and pursue justice.

Business and Corporate Law

• Business Disputes

Property Law

• Property Damage
  Putting in an insurance claim can be a relatively easy process but can quickly become very complex. Typically, once you contact your insurance company, they will want information about your car accident, including documentation like a police report, medical bills, and other driver’s insurance information to process the claim. Next, an insurance adjuster (an agent tasked with processing your claim) may have an investigator come out and inspect any property damage arising from your accident. Then, the adjuster will likely determine the fault and act accordingly. Finally, your insurance company may pay all, some, or none of your expenses, or they may want to pursue action against the other driver or the other driver’s insurance company.
