Business Matters in Louisiana
My firm can help you resolve all types of business issues, including the following:
- Setting up LLCs - When starting a business, forming a limited liability company (LLC) enables you to combine the limited liability of a corporation with the operational flexibility and tax benefits of a partnership. You must go through a multi-step process in order to set up the business.
- Collections - Obtaining legal counsel can help you exert pressure on clients that are refusing to pay for goods or services. Proper counsel enables you to have legal support during the pre-trial, trial and post-trial period, thus giving you the best chance possible of getting reimbursed.
- Property Transactions - An experienced business matters attorney can provide you with valuable support when purchasing or selling a property, and can help you navigate the multiple issues that can arise from such a transaction. Issues can include ensuring the title is valid, working with city officials on coding and other topics, dealing with existing tenets' demands and conducting modifications to the sale contract.
- Construction Liens - When you complete work on a property, only to have the owner refuse to pay you, filing a construction lien can result in a claim being put on the property. This lien stipulates that you must be reimbursed before the property can be sold, or obtain reimbursement from the proceeds of the sale.
I'm available to work relentlessly on your behalf in order to help you with your legal needs. I will fight vigorously on your behalf, as well as will stay in touch with you throughout the process so you can always get answers to your legal questions.

Should I take a settlement offer?
It is never a good idea to settle an insurance claim before speaking with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney that has experience with injury accident cases. Insurance companies have tactics they use to deny claims, redirect fault, and withhold available compensation. An insurance claim can be a complicated process and insurance adjusters can be intimidating to accident victims. An insurance company may assert that the injuries are not as serious as claimed, and attempt to settle quickly for a low amount.

How long will the divorce process take?
The length of your divorce proceedings will depend on different factors, which include how long it takes to serve divorce papers to your spouse, whether your spouse is willing to waive their rights to service and notice of trial, whether you have minor children from the marriage and legal delays. Typically, it will take 20 to 40 days to receive a divorce judgment from the court after papers have been served. If your spouse decides to waive his or her rights to service and notice of trial, the judgment can come swiftly. It is important to note that a judgment does not become finalized until the 30-day "appeals" window has ended.
Another important point to note is that you must be living separately from your spouse for six months (or longer if there are minor children from the marriage) before being able to file a petition, unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as your spouse committed a felony. Securing an attorney for legal representation may result in your divorce process being resolved much faster than you attempting to navigate the proceedings on your own.

Is adoption a long process?
Each adopted child has different circumstances. There are several types of adoptions that could take place, including a stepparent adoption, a private adoption or a standard adoption. Each has its own specific challenges. With the help of my firm, we will speed the process through the system as quickly as we can so that you can begin your new family and move forward with starting life together.

How will child support be calculated?Child support is calculated differently depending on the state one resides in, but the general factors taken into consideration by the court when calculating payments include:
- the standard of living of the child prior to the divorce;
- the ability to pay of the parent giving child support;
- the specific needs of the child, including their food, clothing, and educational costs; and
- the needs and income of the custodial parent (the parent with primary custody of the child).
-
Isn't divorce expensive?
A contested divorce can get expensive due to the necessity to attend trial, and document the case to present in court. Those who can work out their agreements prior to court and settle them with negotiations can not only save a lot of money, they avoid the serious stress of a court trial and exposing your personal business in court. In either case, I will help you bring the issue to a resolution with the least amount of stress, whether in a contested or uncontested divorce. I make every effort to make my services affordable so that you can have high quality legal counsel to support your case.
