Legal Help for Safety, Identity
& Adult Care Decisions
We handle protective orders, name changes, interdictions, and powers of attorney — with compassion and clarity.
Protective Orders
- We represent clients seeking or responding to restraining orders
- These are serious legal matters that may involve custody, housing, and safety
- We explain the process, represent you in court, and help prepare your case
Name Changes
- We help adults and minors legally change their names
- Includes adoption-related changes, family realignment, or personal reasons
- Includes preparation, filing, publication (if required), and court appearance
Interdictions & POAs
- Interdictions: Court-appointed guardianship for someone unable to manage their affairs
- Power of Attorney: A less formal alternative for those who still have capacity
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a name change take?
Typically 30–90 days depending on the parish and publication rules.
Do I need a lawyer for a protective order?
You’re not required to, but having legal help can make a big difference — especially if your safety or parental rights are on the line.
What’s the difference between interdiction and power of attorney?
Interdiction is court-ordered and permanent. A POA is voluntary and flexible.
