Practice Areas

Probate 40%

Probate (called succession in Louisiana) is the process of moving assets from the estate of a deceased person to his or her heirs or other beneficiaries. I handle successions in Louisiana and Mississippi.

40%
Estate Planning 20%

Estate planning is a broad term, including both traditional will-based plans and more advanced trust planning to avoid probate. My estate planning clients range from the very modest to the very wealthy.

20%
Trusts 20%

Trusts are a great resource in the estate planning toolkit. They can help save taxes, avoid probate, and control the timing of transfers to family members.

20%
Power of Attorney 10%

A power of attorney allows one person to name someone else to make financial-related decisions on his or her behalf.

10%
Wills and Living Wills 10%

I prepare Last Will and Testament to help my clients move their assets to their intended beneficiaries. This allows my clients to choose not only who gets their assets, but when (and under what conditions) those assets pass to the next generation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
