Legal Support You Can Count On
Across Louisiana
When you work with our firm, you get straightforward advice, local insight, and dedicated representation in the areas that matter most — from planning your future to protecting your rights in court.
Who We Help
We work with everyday people across Ruston, Lincoln Parish, and nearby areas like Monroe, Farmerville, and Arcadia. Whether you’re building your legacy with a will, navigating the probate process after a loss, or facing criminal charges, we’re here to give you honest answers and steady support.
Our Core Services
We focus on three key areas of law that affect real lives here in North Louisiana. Our job is to help you take the next step with confidence — whether you’re planning ahead or responding to something unexpected.
We help individuals and families prepare
wills,
trusts, and other legal documents that keep things clear and in your control. Our
estate planning services are designed for folks across
Lincoln, Union, and Ouachita Parishes who want peace of mind for the road ahead.
If you’ve lost a loved one, we’ll guide you through Louisiana’s succession process with care and clarity. Whether the estate is large or small, we make sure the legal side of things is handled properly and efficiently.
We represent people facing charges ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. Whether it’s a
DWI in Ruston or a
drug charge in
West Monroe, we build a defense strategy that’s honest, thorough, and tailored to your situation.
Need Help with Something Else
We also handle other legal matters involving injuries, employment disputes, property, business issues, and family law. You can learn more about those on our services page.
