Choosing the right attorney
- Look for an attorney who lists the kind of law you need, and who has an office near you.
- Confirm that the attorney is licensed and eligible to practice with the Louisiana State Bar Association and the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board.
- Talk with two or three attorneys if you can, and ask the right questions. Our guide, Five Questions for Your Future Attorney, is a good place to start.
- Ask for the fee agreement in writing before you hire anyone.
Why Louisiana is different
Louisiana’s legal system has roots in civil law, unlike the other states, and it is organized into parishes instead of counties. That can make some matters, such as property, family, and succession (estate) questions, work differently than they do elsewhere. It is one more reason to look for an attorney who works in Louisiana and handles your kind of matter.
Cypress Counsel is a directory, not a law firm or a referral service. It does not give legal advice, does not endorse any attorney, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Legal deadlines can be short, so if your matter is urgent, speak with a licensed attorney promptly. In an emergency, call 911. Read our Disclaimer.
