Excellent Divorce Lawyer
Lamar is a competent lawyer who is always prepared and ready to defend his client. My case moved timely as soon Lamar took over from the previous lawyer. He is professional, kind , and courteous. I strongly recommend him for any divorce case.

Lamarre Travail Elder's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"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."
"LaMarre is an excellent attorney. He is knowledgeable, articulate, aggressive and well-composed. But he is also fair, honest, and reasonable."
