Outstanding representation

I had the pleasure working with Attorney Lamarre Elder, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His professionalism and expertise helped me be at ease going into court and in general. He was responsive to my questions, understanding of the difficulties in my situation, and made me feel like a p...riority throughout the entire process. I could always count on him to provide a timely response even answering phone calls when I needed. He throughly reviewed every aspect of my case. If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, timely, and genuinely dedicated to his clients, I highly recommend Attorney Lamarre Elder. I am grateful for the outstanding representation he provided.

Personification of competence and diligence.

When you watch Elder, you think of the attorney you see in the movies. Very well prepared, problem solves in real time, and adjusts perfectly to changes in the case. His assessments of how to court will rule are based on the facts, the laws and his experience. Most importantly, he will explain where ...your case is strong and how where it needs support, placing the decision making power into the hands of the client all the while providing exceptional and ethical guidance. His representation completely shifted the power balance!

Worth every penny

Attorney Elder represented me in a highly contested custody case involving my daughter, and I cannot recommend him enough. He has appeared in court with me twice, and both times he achieved exactly the outcome I was hoping for. Having worked with other attorneys in the past, I can honestly say tha...t no one compares to Attorney Elder and his team. I also want to recognize Ashley, his paralegal, because she was equally outstanding. She was always available when I had questions, quick to respond, and consistently kind and helpful throughout the process. Mr. Elder is calm under pressure, incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Throughout the entire process, he was honest, straightforward, and always made me feel confident that my case was in capable hands. What impressed me most was his integrity. He never made promises he couldn’t keep, and he always gave me honest advice, even when it wasn’t necessarily what I wanted to hear. That level of trust is invaluable during a stressful custody dispute. I often joke with him that he is worth every penny, but it’s absolutely true. The peace of mind, guidance, and results he provided were priceless. I am so grateful that I found him and cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for my family. If you’re looking for an attorney who is skilled, honest, intelligent, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what he does, Attorney Elder is the one you want on your side.

Top tier attorney

While most may consider my case litigious and what may feel to be everlasting, both Sargis & Associates and Attorney Elder have handled my case with extreme care. I have had other attorneys throughout my case, which began many years ago, and not one has come close to Attorney Elder. This firm is prom...pt, professional, and thorough. Attorney Elder is incredibly knowledgeable and transparent which is quite calming when dealing with a high conflict child custody case. He is quick witted in the court room and is sure to leave no stone unturned. When you devote your resources to obtain counsel, this firm and this attorney is exactly what you’d expect. Truly are a group of remarkable individuals with a combined level of expertise that has the ability to overcome any legal battle an individual may have. Often times you may encounter firms/attorneys that lack empathy and are only concerned about money. This often true stereotype, is the complete opposite for this firm. I cannot thank Attorney Elder enough for all that he has devoted to my case to ensure the best possible outcomes for my children. I highly recommend both this firm and this attorney.

Comfort knowing your not alone

If you’re looking for a great Family Law Attorney that can provide a positive outcome then I highly recommend Mr. LaMarre Elder from Sargis Law Firm and their legal Team. Let me start by saying that there is no better law firm to help you with family law and legal matters when you have no idea where ...to start. I worked with the paralegal team along with attorney Elder. Mr. Elder and his team are extremely Knowledgeable, Ambitious, Professional, and handled everything with such Integrity. They answered all my questions in layman's terms and worked hard to provide me with positive results. Mr. Elder speaks to you with such respect and never lets you feel hopeless or let down. Divorce is a difficult process but he was right there for me every step of the way and I never felt alone. There is no other law firm I would have wanted to stand by me. Thank you, to the Sargis Law Firm team and Mr. LaMarre Elder. Massive weight off my shoulders.

Personal injury lawyer | Mar 06

Relationship: Other

"Mr. Elder & I met during the first week of our first year at Tulane Law School in 2008 and have remained in contact since graduating in 2011. He has flourished into a tenacious, articulate, savvy, and a highly skilled litigator, all propelled by his passion for helping people - much of that stemming from personal experience. Clients who have been injured due to someone else's negligence or who are lost in the area of family law need more than just any attorney. They need an advocate. An advocate who has walked in their shoes, experienced the same emotions, and dealt with the same type of opposition. Lamarre Elder is "that" advocate. There are some attorneys who do this as a profession, and others who do this as a lifestyle. Fighting for the rights of individuals is not what Lamarre does. It is who Lamarre is. You've come to the right place. Make the right choice. I give my highest endorsement to Mr. Elder and Parker & Elder, LLC."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Firstly, my experience with Mr. Elder has been nothing less than pristine. Mr. Elder and I collaborated on a tortious matter that resulted in an large judgment in favor of our client. Through out litigation, Mr. Elder displayed legal prowess through his knowledge of both procedural intricacies and the substantive law that favorably benefitted his clients and put his adversaries to shame. Mr. Elder’s most admirable qualifty is his honesty, integrity and humbleness to place himself in the shoes of his clients to zealously fight for their rights. Although I currently work as an attorney in professional responsibility and personal injury matters, my and Mr. Elder’s paths no longer cross; however, we remain professional collegues and acquaintances as to date. Mr. Elder has a well-breadth profession and possesses the knowledge, modesty and inqusitivness to assist in any legal matter. That said, I highly recommend Mr. Elder for your case."
