I've built a strong family law practice which include divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support and community property partitions and settlements. I work hard to protect your short and long term interests and strive to do it in a manner that helps you preserve the changing relationships in your life.
Every divorce is different and a solution that works for one client may not be appropriate for another. In order to develop a personal legal strategy that is tailored to your individual needs, I will first learn about your goals, objectives and priorities.
For all divorce matters, including custody disputes, property settlements, child support, and modifications of orders, call me. I want to help you. I offer a free 30 minute consultation. I am licensed to practice law in all Louisiana state courts and serve both the north and south shore.

"Shandy is a phenomenal attorney and person. As an attorney who has been practicing for over 20 years, I've known many attorneys. She is one of the few that I'd trust with all of my legal needs—highly recommended."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is the most passionate family law attorney I have come across. She represents her clients just as she would her own family. I refer all family law cases to her."
"Ms. Arguelles is an excellent lawyer and "a real fighter" for her clients. I am personally aware of one of her cases which involved a very difficult opposition. Ms. Arguelles prevailed! I endorse this lawyer."
"Shandy is a regular contributor to Solosez and Avvo and is a resource to the legal community. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I know Shandy from Avvo and ABA Solosez. She takes the time to guide her peers and I for one appreciate it. She also responds to questions from private citizens on Avvo. Her responses to questions both on Avvo and Solosez have helped in my transition from Family Law Paralegal to Family Law Attorney."
"I appreciate Ms. Arguelles' willingness to participate in peer-to-peer mentoring programs such as the ABA's SoloSez. She is an able mentor and I have found her contributions to be insightful and well reasoned."
"Ms. Arguelles is a resource for other attorneys in the ABA looking for advice and guidance. It is often hard to find other lawyers who are willing to give of their time and knowledge to answer questions and give advice, it shows integrity and professionalism."
