About Layne
Biography
With more than 30 years of experience, Layne M. Adams has represented countless clients in family law matters. In addition to offering services relating to wills, trusts, successions, and estate matters, Mr. Adams has been board certified as a family law specialist by the Louisiana State Bar Association.
A native of Mississippi, Mr. Adams received his Bachelor's degree from the University of New Orleans, and he received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Kansas in 1983. He is an active member of the Louisiana State Bar Association and the American Bar Association.
Mr. Adams provides independent legal counsel for children, which demands the same undivided loyalty, confidentiality, and competent representation required for adult clients. As a "best interests" attorney, Mr. Adams provides independent legal services for protecting children's best interests.
A divorce dissolves a valid marriage for causes that ordinarily arise after the wedding ceremony. Louisiana permits fault-based divorce, as well as the popular no-fault divorce option for parties that have lived separate and apart for at least six months. Divorce can be complicated, and attorney Layne M. Adams has been guiding clients through the divorce process with compassion and practical counsel for over 25 years.
Over 35 years of personalized, comprehensive legal advice and counsel, guiding you through complex matters and protecting your rights.
