Scott Ogden

Scott Ogden and his staff are very personable, knowledgeable of the court system, and maintain a good relationship with their client. He presents very honest recommendations and feedback throughout the process, while showing support for your well-being. I couldn’t have chosen a better attorney while... going through my divorce. If dealing with an unfortunate situation, I highly recommend Scott as your attorney.

Mr. Ogden was so kind and understanding! He spent 3 hours helping me figure out what to do during our consultation in order to get custody of our niece and nephew, and when our hearing date came and the hearing officer wanted to reschedule us (which would have caused us to have to pay more), he went ...in and argued for us, and we were seen that day! I knew exactly what to do and what was going to happen in the hearing too so there were no surprises. Everything went great and we now have custody of our niece and nephew! We hope to have Mr. Ogden help us with adoption next!! :)

The most knowledgeable and valuable lawyer I have met in Louisiana. Easy to see why he is in the top 10 of lawyers in the entire state. If you need to hire a lawyer it can be a very stressful and uncertain ordeal. I was so very fortunate and grateful to have hired and met Mr. Scott Ogden for my c...ase of child custody that I am almost at a lost for words. If you ever have a need for a family lawyer who will understand exactly what you are trying to say and can put himself in your shoes and fight exactly like you would if you were a lawyer and say the things exactly like you meant them to be said, just better. You need to hire Mr. Scott Ogden right now. He is the most professional lawyer I have ever dealt with and his communications skills add to the excellent service and skills he provided. For me, I need reassurance from time to time and Mr. Ogden would call me back the same day or send you a email. He will find a way to get in touch with you to let you know that he got your message and is working your ideas or the angle you are thinking. Also, he will vigorously defend your points, rights and values. After seeing him in action, I would never think of hiring a different family lawyer in Lake Charles or the surrounding area and my family and friends agree. I believe Scott is one of the best lawyers in the country. When you have only one chance to make something right you better go with a lawyer who is at the top of the field. That lawyer is Mr. Scott Ogden no question about it.

Scott is willing to go the extra mile, and tackle legal problems that sometimes seem insurmountable! Not only is he knowledgeable about my legal issues, he cares-- and that's a rarity with attorneys today. He is also an asset to not only me, but my family-- he even met us at a local nursing home to... get our legal papers signed. You cannot ask for better service. Scott makes Sudduth and Associates look good!! Keep up the good work!!

Michael S Ogden Jr is very personable, approachable and has a good relationship with the court as well as a strong professional network with other attorneys in the trade. This is a plus if you are dealing with sensible soon to be ex’es who want to move on and act like adults. But he is also a staun...ch, steadfast and passionate advocate when you are dealing with a case like mine. He is a bull dog when confronting non-reasonable people. Michael is no push over. When the other side tried to use coercive tactics, Michael pushed back. There were periods where I thought Michael was putting his career on the line for me as he powerfully, passionately, vigorously and non reservedly spoke up to the Court. Mr. Ogden Jr later told me that he did it because he felt that it was the right thing to do. He had to let the court know the truth no matter what. I was touched. Mr. Ogden Jr has been a dedicated counsel and friend. I feel bad that I am eating into his personal time, but Michael constantly assures me that it’s okay, and he’s always available.
