Personal Injury &
Wrongful Death
We help victims of car crashes, truck accidents, slips and falls and other injuries. Under Louisiana’s updated law, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit if your injury occurred on or after July 1, 2024, and one year for injuries before that date. We investigate liability, gather evidence and pursue full compensation.
Car Wrecks &
Auto Accidents
As car-wreck lawyers in Minden, we handle cases involving reckless driving, drunk driving and uninsured motorists. Did you get pictures of your vehicle and the other vehicle to prove the angle they made contact and the severity of the blow, which will support your injury claim? Did you get the name and phone number of any witnesses to your accident? Hiring an attorney early on avoids costly mistakes. We settle 90% of our cases and we are ready to litigate for you. We recommend contacting us immediately – critical evidence like skid marks and vehicle damage can disappear within days.
Contract Disputes
& Civil Litigation
We represent businesses and individuals in breach of contract cases, insurance claims and other civil disputes. Our firm has a track record of successful settlements and verdicts.
Medical Malpractice
Louisiana has complex prescriptive periods for medical malpractice. In most cases you must file a claim within one year of the alleged malpractice or within one year of discovering it, with a strict three year outer limit. We help victims navigate the medical review panel process and fight for fair compensation.
Wills and Successions
Preparing a will ensures your wishes are followed, appoints the person in charge of handling your estate and can give him the authority to handle many matters without a judge’s approval. A succession proceeding transfers property to heirs. Although there is no strict legal deadline to open succession in Louisiana, waiting longer than six to twelve months can delay access to bank accounts, real estate and vehicles. Our Minden succession lawyers prepare wills, handle probate proceedings and assist with small-succession affidavits.
Business Law &
Formation of LLCs
Forming a limited liability company (LLC) requires filing Articles of Organization and an initial report with the Louisiana Secretary of State. We help entrepreneurs establish limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations by preparing and filing the required legal documents such as registering a local agent. Call today to let our experienced Minden, Louisiana attorneys handle the filings so you can focus on growing your business.
Mineral Rights Disputes
& Lease Negotiations
Landowners sometimes suffer unpaid royalties or environmental damage from drilling. A failure to pay royalties claim requires filing suit within three years from when first due. Never sign the standard oil and gas lease form they present to you and claim they allow no changes. The standard lease form is terrible for the landowner. Our oil and gas lawyer in Minden helps clients recover royalties, negotiate leases and address well clean-up or land damage claims. Never sign the standard oil and gas lease form they present to you and claim they allow no changes. We typically make numerous important changes that they will accept.
Wrongful Death &
Catastrophic Injuries
We support families who have lost loved ones due to negligence. Recoverable damages may include medical expenses, funeral costs and loss of companionship. We handle these claims with sensitivity and tenacity.
Civil Litigation & Business Services
In addition to the areas above, we offer representation in insurance claims, business litigation, contract drafting and corporate governance.
