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.

Professional, Prepared, and Truly Listens

I highly recommend LaMarre as a child custody attorney. He truly takes the time to listen and understand your concerns, which makes a difficult process feel much more manageable. Every time we’ve gone to court, he has been well-prepared, confident, and professional. What I appreciate most is his a...bility to provide clear guidance and explain things in a way that’s easy to understand. He helps you feel informed and supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in your case, LaMarre is an excellent choice.

Forever Grateful for Elder’s Dedication and Support

We can’t even begin to express how grateful we are for Elder and everything he’s done for our family. From day one, he was professional, compassionate, and always kept us informed every step of the way. He made sure we understood what was happening, answered every question, and reassured us when thin...gs got stressful or uncertain. Today was our final hearing, and we are beyond happy with the outcome. Elder fought for what was right and made sure the kids’ best interests were always the priority. Because of him, we can finally breathe and sleep peacefully knowing that the uncertainty around custody is over. We highly, highly recommend Elder to anyone looking for an attorney who genuinely cares, communicates clearly, and truly fights for his clients. Thank you, Elder, for standing by us and helping us reach this outcome — we’ll forever be grateful! — Sammi & Justin

Attorney Elder communicates effectively and is honest regarding each step of the process. The outcome of... my case has provided so much peace and stability for me and my children.

EXCELLENT!!

I have the privilege to work with LaMarre and by far the best I know. He has helped me with my custody case and my child support case and both have come out successful. I am very happy with the results. I’m enjoying my son more then ever. With good communication, he was able to come to agreements and... more. He tells me things straight to the point and what are the possibilities on things. Thank you very much.

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."
