James Morgan Field III

Morgan Field is a Louisiana attorney whose practice is focused on estate planning, successions, and succession litigation. Since being licensed in 2012, he has represented clients in both routine and contested estate matters, including will contests, heirship disputes, creditor claims, and complex asset and title issues.

His practice is built around the reality that estate plans and successions are often tested—whether through conflict among heirs or in court. Mr. Field regularly handles succession litigation and has successfully argued a succession case before the Louisiana Supreme Court. That experience informs how he approaches both planning and administration, allowing him to identify issues early, prevent disputes where possible, and move decisively when litigation is necessary.

In addition to successions and estate planning, Mr. Field handles related matters such as interdictions, tutorships, disputes involving powers of attorney, actions to recover estate assets, and title issues affecting estate property. He regularly works with estates involving real estate, business interests, and complex family dynamics, including blended families and contested matters.

Mr. Field is known for a structured, practical approach. He focuses on identifying the controlling legal issues, keeping matters organized, and moving cases forward efficiently. When disputes cannot be avoided, he is prepared to address them with a clear strategy and command of Louisiana law.

His approach is grounded in a simple principle: the law should work for the client, not the other way around.
