Medicaid is a federal government program that pays long-term nursing home costs for people with low income and few assets (other than a house they own). Eligibility rules are extremely complicated and if not followed can result in Medicaid ineligibility or having to pay unnecessarily tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Louisiana law uses the word succession to refer to the probate process. A Louisiana succession is a court proceeding that does the following: Ensures that a deceased person’s intentions are met to transfer his property, money and belongings at death; Changes title to assets from a deceased person to his or her heirs, legatees, or beneficiaries; and Pays the debts of the deceased person.
Family law is a legal practice area that focuses on issues involving family relationships, such as divorce, child custody, financial support, paternity, and marital property, among others. Attorneys practicing family law can represent clients in family court proceedings or in related negotiations and can also draft important legal documents such as court petitions or property agreements.

WHO WE ARE
HARDENED LITIGATORS, VIGOROUS NEGOTIATORS, AND COMPASSIONATE COUNSELORS
Every case starts with a story and a problem. We listen, evaluate, plan, and implement. Our initial consultation with you is complimentary (no charge). An attorney (not a paralegal, not staff) will meet with you, hear your story, and advise how our firm proposes to solve your problem. We will tell you how much we expect your case to cost and how long it should take.
In some cases, it will be necessary to file a lawsuit. Or you may be getting sued. We are experienced litigators that will fight hard and smart to resolve your case. Some cases are transactional in nature, or just require our legal knowledge, strategic advice, and counseling to solve your problem. Our firm is well-versed in these non-litigation pursuits.
